Jarrett Creek, TX, police chief Samuel Craddock is called to the Blake family ranch to investigate a murder. The victim had spent the past 20 years in a Dallas psychiatric hospital for attempting to kill her little sister. Once again Shames's mystery (after A Deadly Affair at Bobtail Ridge) engages the reader with well-developed characters and an ingenious plot.
