Andy Brady was an honest lawman, a good husband and candidate for Sheriff - until a bullet abruptly destroyed his future. Now the police brass are claiming he was a maverick whose involvement in drug running drove him to suicide.
But Andy's strong-willed wife, Joanna, knows a cover-up when she hears one; and murder when she sees it. And she is relentlessly determined to clear husband's name.
Her obsessive hunt for a killer threatens to place both Joanna and her nine-year-old daughter Jenny in serious jeopardy. Because, in the desert, the truth can be more lethal than a rattlesnake's bite.
