Nancy J. Cohen is proud to announce the
release of her latest Bad Hair Day mystery, PERIL BY
PONYTAIL with a fabulous contest. One lucky US grand
prize winner will receive a Collectible Porcelain
Indian Drummer Doll and two US runners up will each
win
a pair of handcrafted earrings and a copy of HANGING
BY A HAIR. Nancy had a great time touring Arizona
doing research for While staying at a dude ranch, she picked
up some fun gifts and this is your chance to win them!
Hoping for a romantic honeymoon at an Arizona dude ranch,
Marla and Dalton arrive to find a series of mishaps
plaguing the resort. A nearby ghost town is suffering
similar problems. Is it a coincidence that Dalton’s Uncle
Raymond owns both properties? When the patriarch asks for
their help in finding the culprit, Marla and Dalton jump
on the trail. News of a local forest ranger’s death
raises the stakes, especially when they learn the man was
Raymond’s friend.
Since sleuthing comes more
naturally to Marla than horseback riding, she throws
herself into the investigation with her usual zest. But
as she digs deeper, she discovers skeletons in the family
closet. Someone means to drive Raymond out of business,
and the reason may be linked to his past misdeeds. But
Raymond isn’t the only one with secrets. The trail leads
Marla from an environmental activist group to saguaro
poachers to water rights proponents to an old copper mine
beneath the ghost town. She’d better saddle up, rein in
the clues, and find the killer before she becomes the
next spirit inhabiting the haunted hillside.
