Nestled at the foot of Pine Mountain by the Little Bear River, Rose Hill has
one traffic light, one patrol car, and one cold blooded killer on the loose.

When rich and rotten Theo Eldridge is found murdered in the local
veterinary clinic, Rose Hill police chief Scott Gordon is forced to work with
county sheriff’s investigator Sarah Albright, who is more interested in
seducing him than in solving the crime.
|
|
|
|
Complicating matters are a missing eyewitness, a town full of busybodies
who keep poking their noses (among other parts) in places they shouldn’t,
and enough arson, graft, and blackmail to supply motives to a dozen
suspects.

Scott is convinced that bookstore owner Maggie Fitzpatrick is the woman
for him, and although she’s tempted, she’s not ready to risk getting her
heart broken again. Nevertheless, Maggie and her best friend Hannah, the
local dog catcher, are determined to help Scott solve the crime before Sarah
does.

|
As Scott and Maggie attempt to untangle the sticky web of Theo’s shady
business dealings, they also uncover some dark family secrets that may
connect Theo’s murder to another committed twenty years before.
