Sheila Dawson has made history as the first female police
chief in Pecan Springs, Texas. She's also cracked many a
mystery in collaboration with local sleuth China
Bayles--that's why everyone thinks she's such a smart
cookie. Now, Sheila puts those smarts to work, sifting
through secrets to find a killer on the prowl...
Larry Kirk, Pecan Springs' computer guru, has been shot dead
in his kitchen. At first Police Chief Sheila Dawson believes
it to be suicide, perhaps triggered by his painful divorce.
Further investigation reveals that Kirk's death wasn't
self-inflicted. And the truth is reinforced by her friend
China Bayles' news--Larry recently asked her for legal
advice in regards to a stalker.
As a police chief in a male-dominated force, Sheila meets
many challenges, especially when her theories rock the boat
in high-profile cases like that of George Timms. He was
caught breaking into Larry's computer shop to steal his own
computer back because of dangerous personal information it
contained. Now that Larry is dead, she's sure it's connected
to the burglary. And she's also sure she'll get plenty of
resistance on her assessment...
Timms' time to turn himself in to the police comes and goes,
and he's nowhere to be found. In her investigation, Sheila
uncovers secrets, terrible secrets that would drive anyone
to kill. So who then? It's up to Sheila to prove she's got
what it takes to hunt down the predator that's loose on the
streets of Pecan Springs.
