"She was a dangerous girl and people think she'll be a
dangerous woman."
Nonie Blake is back home from a mental institution where she
has spent the last twenty years, and people in Jarrett Creek
are worried. Maybe too worried, for within a week of her
return, Nonie is murdered.
Chief Samuel Craddock thinks the only possible suspects
are members of her tight-lipped family. Ever since Nonie
tried to kill her sister when she was fourteen and was sent
away to the institution, the family has kept to itself.
Clues are scarce and Craddock is stumped. So he checks
with therapists at the mental hospital to see whether they
can add anything useful to his investigation. But he
discovers that she has not been there for ten years. Now
Craddock has to find out where Nonie has been all this time.
Soon Craddock finds himself dealing not only with
murder, but layers of deception and secrets, and in the
midst of it all—a new deputy, one Maria Trevino, sent by the
sheriff to beef up security in the small Texas town.
