\nDetective Maxine Ferrari<\/span> had difficulty keeping her mouth shut. She knew it. With a reputation for carrying her opinions on the tip of her tongue, and speaking them unfiltered, Max often rubbed her colleagues the wrong way.
<\/p>\n
It’s what got her fired from her first position as detective; landing her in the tiny, high desert town of Prineville, Oregon, where there hadn\u2019t been a murder since Lucy O\u2019Conner found her husband in bed with a hooker, and shot him dead, some seven years ago. In the first four months of detective\u2019s new job, the only crime requiring any detection was a break-in at the State Liquor Store. Max was sure, the sheer boredom of this job, would likely kill her.
<\/p>\n
All that changed with the arrival of Sarah Castleman. Before the summer was over, two men had gone missing, one had been murdered and Max was, inexplicably, infatuated with the prime suspect.
<\/p>\n
The detective didn\u2019t have a clue until it was too late, that the bombshell about to land in her lap, was going to destroy everything she believed to be true about her investigation. More than that, it would call into question Max’s own beliefs about herself.
