Dead to Rights

Joanna Brady –devoted mother and the first female Sheriff of Cochise County, Arizona–knows what it’s like to lose one you love, and her heart still aches over the murder of her policeman husband. But her sympathy for a tragically widowed ex-cop has placed Joanna’s future in jeopardy–and brought her face-to-face with death in the high, lonely desert.

On their nineteenth wedding anniversary, Hal Morgan’s wife was fatally struck down by a drunk driver–and the courts punished her killer with only a wrist-slap. A year to the day later the irresponsible motorist is murdered and all fingers are pointing to Morgan as the perpetrator–except Sheriff Brady’s. But Joanna’s gut instinct is leading her into a maelstrom of danger and deception, as she trails the truth from a ghostly mining camp to the rocky spires of the Chiricahua National Monument. Because now an assassin is turning his sights on her.
