A dead big-city lawyer, a grumpy but sympathetic sheriff, and Idaho draws first blood. Summer in Salmon, Idaho, was supposed to mean flowers, community picnics, and finding excuses to spend time with a handsome cowboy. Instead, Hatta McFarlane finds herself tangled up in another murder. When a big-city lawyer is stabbed to death at a local ranch, few people are mourning. The victim made a career of bullying ranchers and helping hidden billionaires grab land, leaving plenty of enemies behind. Hatta's friend Ruth becomes a suspect after discovering the body, while an angry rancher cheated out of his family's property has motive galore. With her fearless Yorkie, Sprout, at her side and her grumpy ghost grandmother offering advice from beyond the grave, Hatta starts digging for answers. But every clue uncovers deeper secrets, and someone is determined to keep the past buried. As danger closes in and the killer threatens her, Hatta must expose the murderer before the next trail ends at her grave.
