In Salinas politics, the only thing dirtier than the campaign trail is the crime scene.

Private detective Mimi Capurro has seen some shady clients walk through the door of the Gotcha Detective Agency. But when a lean, silver-sideburned cowboy named Skinner Mathis drops a stack of cash on her desk and asks her to take down the county's most beloved political figure, she figures - how bad could it get?

Famous last words.

Bucky Cox is "everyone's man." World champion rodeo cowboy turned county supervisor, with a smile full of veneers and a handshake full of lies. He's also apparently everyone's enemy - at least that's what it looks like when Mimi, Charles, and Cortnie show up at his ranch to ask a few polite questions and stumble directly into a murder scene.

Now their client is the prime suspect. The grieving widow is hiding secrets bigger than her trophy buckle collection. A pixie-haired woman just punched said widow in the face. And somewhere in the middle of all this is a horse worth more than most people's houses, a love triangle that's been simmering for twenty-five years, and a daughter with a very strong left arm.

Oh, and Charles is car shopping. Again. With an FBI agent who showed up wearing cargo shorts and knowing entirely too much.

Between dodging Nick's raised eyebrows, Cortnie's rodeo expertise, and a receptionist who is clearly running the entire operation better than anyone will admit - Mimi is about to find out that in an election year, everyone's got something to hide.

And someone always pays the price.

Buckle up. This rodeo has one hell of a dismount.

The Gotcha Detective Agency: where the cases are complicated, the banter is sharp, and nobody stays in their lane - least of all Mimi.
