Overview

A fortune in Texas land... and a ruthless killer who wants it. A wealthy rancher's death in a house fire is ruled accidental, but his suspicious son doesn't believe it. After PI Fen Maguire is called in to investigate, he's on the verge of agreeing with the official ruling... until the rancher's body is discovered in a shallow grave along the San Gabriel River. With a prime inheritance at stake, any member of this fractured family could have motives to hurry the patriarch's demise. Fen zeroes in on the rancher's son and primary heir as the most likely suspect-until the son narrowly survives a bullet meant to kill him. Now Fen must peel back the layers of jealousy, greed, and bad blood to expose who stood to gain from eliminating both father and son. With time running out, the wily PI must rely on his final, meticulously crafted plan to unravel this tangle of deception and stop the killer before he strikes again. In the fifth book of the series, Fen Maguire seeks justice along the San Gabriel River in this page-turning mystery delivered with no graphic violence, foul language or sex scenes.
