A premium edition reissue of the third electrifying Joanna Brady novel byNew York Timesbestselling author J. A. Jance.
A prisoner languishes in a Phoenix jail cell accused of slaying his estranged wife. No one believes the man is innocent, except the new female sheriff of Cochise County, in town for a crash course in police training. Joanna Brady is out of her jurisdictionand possibly out of her league. For a human monster is on the prowl, hiding the grisly evidence of his horrific crimes in the vast emptiness of the Arizona desert. And an impromptu investigation, with no official sanction, and no back-up, is drawing a cold, ingenious serial killer much too close to Brady for comfortand closer, worse still, to her little girl.
"Joanna Brady's a delightful character---Close in toughness to Warshawski but willing to work within the confines on mainstream law enforcement."--Chicago Tribune'Every woman in America is obviously not a Sheriff, But Joanna Brady is every woman."--Mostly Murder
