'A piercing ill wind blows hot out of the silent Arizona desert. A Native American woman is dead - an ex-con once jailed for the murder of her husband - and her teenage daughter has vanished into the long shadows of the night-still canyons.'
Sheriff Joanna Brady of Cochise County is juggling a precarious overload in both her personal and professional life. The sudden death of her much-loved neighbour and handyman, Clayton Rhodes, creates further turmoil, leaving Joanna shocked, saddened, and the target of Clayton's irate and irrational daughter who accuses the Sheriff's Department of covering up a possible murder.
Soon Joanna discovers that investigating family hostilities is leading her down a twisted trail of hatred, greed, and far-reaching consequences into a dangerous world where violence is the first response and long-buried secrets are a reason to kill . . . or die.
