The first murder investigation of Sheriff Jill Jordan's career might well be her last.

Engaged in a hard-fought election against her own chief deputy, Jill finds herself faced with the first murder in rural Cumberland, Nevada, in over a decade.  The bludgeoned body of Nora Corbitt dredges up a past that more than one person in town would do anything to keep secret.

Like Hal Taylor.  Happy Hal's new and used-car dealerships put Cumberland on the map.  His son had a history with the victim, a history Hal paid good money to keep under wraps.

Like Aaron Sanford.  Aaron buddied around with Hal Taylor's son in high school, and that friendship – and Nora Corbitt – ruined his life.  Aaron has more than one secret Nora's death threatens to uncover.

The good old boys system still holds strong in Cumberland.  Good old boys, like Jill's chief deputy, would like nothing better than to see Jill fail.  But the justice system failed Nora Corbitt once already, and Jill's not about to let it happen again.

Even if it's the last thing she does as sheriff.


"This book made me ignore everything else I was supposed to be doing. I'll happily read every Cumberland mystery Annie Reed writes."  –Ariel Graham, author of GHOSTS IN THE MACHINE
