Intrepid P.I.
Sharon McCone returns—as you’ve never seen her before—in a spellbinding new novel
set in California’s high-desert country.
Traumatized by a recent
life-or-death investigation, Sharon McCone fl ees to her ranch in California’s
high desert country to contemplate her future. Deep depression shadows her days
and nights, and a chance encounter with a troubled, highly secretive Native American
woman begins to haunt her dreams. Even though she is determined not to investigate
anything during her stay—and perhaps not ever again—McCone is drawn into the plight
of the young woman and her dysfunctional family. A murder and traces of violence
at a deserted resort lead her across the desert and into Nevada, and fi nally
to a remote and isolated ranch, where danger lies closer than she expects—and
where her future and life itself may hang in the balance.
