Two months after solving the murder of a powerful politician, Texas Congresswoman Carly Wagner is again involved in murder when her 12-year-old daughter Jordan discovers a neighbor's dead body in his home. Determined to find out who strangled the popular judge and why, since the judge's children and Jordan could be involved, Carly is as irritated as a burr under a saddle when the frustrating, secretive Mr. Jones scales her garden wall to warn her off the case. He'll handle the matter and she's to keep her inquisitive nose out of it. Well, that just gets her dander up even further, which guarantees she'll find out what she needs to know, no matter what. But does she really want to learn the complete truth? You bet your backside she does!

Behind-the-scenes Washington politics come to life under the deft handling of Jo-Ann Power as she develops believably distinct characters and plot points in this entertaining Me & Mr. Jones mystery (following MISSING MEMBER). Carly is an extremely smart, savvy and sexy woman who's also as tough as the west Texas ranch where she grew up. She won't tolerate being patronized, so Jones has his hands full -- again. I can't wait to see what these two are up to next.
