Sheriff Joanna Brady must solve two perplexing cases that may be tied together in New York Times
bestselling author J. A. Jance’s thrilling tale of suspense that brings
to life Arizona’s Cochise County and the desert Southwest in all its
beauty and mystery.
An old woman, a hoarder, is dying of emphysema
in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. In cleaning out her house, her
daughter, Liza Machett, discovers a fortune in hundred dollar bills
hidden in the tall stacks of books and magazines that crowd every
corner.
Tracing the money’s origins will take Liza on a journey
that will end in Cochise County, where Sheriff Joanna Brady is embroiled
in a personal mystery of her own. A man she considers a family friend
is found dead at the bottom of a hole in a limestone cavern near Bisbee.
And now there is the mystery of Liza and the money. Are the two
disparate cases connected? It’s up to Joanna to find out.
