About
One August evening in 1914, a bushwhacker ended a pleasant outing by blowing a hole in Bill McBride, kidnapping and ravaging Bill's fiancée, and wounding Alafair Tucker's daughter, Mary. All Mary knows is that the crime had something to do with the Fourth of July. Alafair is determined to find out what.

Reviews
"Casey's mellow third Alafair Tucker whodunit is as laid back as its 1914 Oklahoma setting…Casey gives convincing voice to the early Midwest much as Sharyn McCrumb does for her Appalachians, including period recipes that help to convey the literal flavor of the era."
Publishers Weekly
"Casey lovingly portrays the Tuckers' close extended family, immersing the reader in both the domestic aspects and the harsh realities of everyday farm life."
Booklist
"Pam Ward reads the Oklahoma voices with a hint of a twang and a heaping dose of Alafair's motherly concern…Casey's novel is satisfying both for its mystery and for its glimpses of early-twentieth-century Oklahoma."
