Synopsis

In this steamy thriller set in small-town Texas, a savvy attorney will stop at nothing to catch the man who murdered her mother.

Alexandra Gaither is a beautiful lawyer who finally has the power to get what she's always wanted: justice. Armed with new evidence that could lead to an arrest and a conviction, Alex revisits the remote Texas town where her mother died twenty-five years ago.

There she confronts the three powerful men who were with her mother on that fateful night: her former lover, his best friend, and the father figure to them both. Each is charming, each is a suspect, and each has secrets to hide. But none of them can stop Alex's determined search for the truth.

Alex's relentless investigation creates controversy and excitement in this small community. And as she uncovers decades-old intrigues, someone capable of clever lies and remorseless acts decides she must be stopped. Now, with a one-month deadline from the attorney general to either wrap up the case or drop it for good, Alex must work diligently to catch the killer . . . and find a way to stay alive.

From AudioFile:

Positive that the man convicted of her mother's murder is innocent, Assistant DA Alex Gaither is determined to learn who the real killer is. In Purcell, Texas, there are any number of suspects--local landowner Angus Minton; his son, Junior; and even the sheriff, Reede Lambert, among them. There's also the possibility that one of these men is Alex's own father--an added complication, given her attraction to two of them. This story is reminiscent of 1980s' TV shows like "Dynasty" and "Dallas," and Dick Hill's narration is a tour de force. This shouldn't surprise audiobook aficionados, who are most likely well acquainted with his talents. Hill's remarkably elastic voice suggests both age and disposition without apparent effort, adding dimension to even the most briefly appearing characters.
