      About This Book

      A DEPUTY SHERIFF LIES DYING BENEATH THE BLISTERING ARIZONA SUN—BECAUSE HE AIMED TOO HIGH... AND KNEW TOO MUCH.

      Andy Brady was an honest lawman, a good husband and candidate for Sheriff of Cochise County—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 her husband's name.

      But 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.
