What this book is about
Joanna Brady, newly elected as Cochise County Sheriff despite fierce opposition, must investigate the death of a man no one seems to mourn — a murder connected to buried family secrets and the kind of Western violence that never really went away. The second Joanna Brady novel establishes the series' rich sense of Arizona's high desert culture.
