Can even the toughest cowgirl survive?You'll like this dark mystery thriller, because we all love hard scrabble detectives trying their best to do what's right.Annie's tall, blonde, snarky, and wanted. Dead or alive.And she has more problems.First it's the shooters on horseback. Then the bartender. Then a lawdog goes missing. And his brother.There's a hanging. A new man. And a lot of snarky dialogue.The outlaws have their reasons. She just has to figure out what they are. Will she?***"I've read nearly all of Barbara's books and enjoyed their novel and refreshing approach. She mixes genres with abandon, delightfully twisting things together and apart while making me think (that really should be capitalized) every now and then. She is one of the half-dozen or so relatively new authors I am following closely, getting each new release and enjoying them thoroughly. In that group Barbara stands out for innovation, being down to earth and for provoking cogitation in an enjoyable manner.Thanks Barbara!"-Dan. Goodreads.com
