Hardesty is back in another tantalizing mystery.
When big-city businesswoman Priss Porter returns to town
with a body in her trunk, she expects Stella to dispose of
it for

best–curing woman-beaters by the use of force—in case Stella
needs convincing. But Stella refuses to cooperate, only to
hear
later that Priss has gone missing. Stella is implicated
when Sheriff “Goat” Jones discovers a scarf she left
behind. He
warns her to stay local, but Stella and her partner Chrissy
Shaw go looking for Priss in Kansas City. When Priss’s body
is
found, along with two others, Stella must investigate a
host of
suspects including a crooked but libidinous female judge
and acoterie of jealous male escorts.
A Bad Day for Scandal is the third book in the award-
winning,
critically-acclaimed series.
