About
It was pure luck that Josie Gray spotted Cassidy Harper's car, abandoned on the side of the road. If she hadn't, then she'd never have found Cassidy, lying nearly dead of heatstroke on the desert sand beside the body of a Mexican immigrant. But, Cassidy can't explain why she was out for a walk in the midday desert heat, let alone how she happened upon the corpse. And, once Josie sees the ominous wounds on the man's body, she knows she needs to find the answer fast, before her own life is in danger.

"Captivating. … Fields deftly balances the intriguing intimate relationships among her characters with the broader themes of industrial corruption and greed. With her wild desert settings and her thrilling plot, Fields' novel is situated somewhere between Western terrain and mystery territory."
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
"Full of nonstop action … Fields's second crime novel will be a sure hit with mystery fans who miss the late Hillerman and readers who love contemporary Westerns."
Library Journal (starred review)
"As in Fields' Tony Hillerman Prize-winning debut: carefully integrated red herrings, a tinge of romance and dead-on descriptions of West Texas weather"
oppressive heat, weeklong downpours and earth-obliterating mudslides."
