" Joanna Brady is a single mother dealing with grief over the loss of her husband. She has to deal with an over-bearing mother and a 9-year-old daughter as she struggles to balance her life. She is also Sheriff of a large county in southern Arizona, where she works with some men who resent her in the position. But Brady is able to handle the demands of being a law-enforcement officer with common sense and sympathy. J. A. Jance's writing of the Arizona terrain resonates with those who know the area. It is rich with a history of Apache strongholds and mining. This is the 4th in the Joanna Brady series, and Jance portrays a real-life character that the reader cheers for, worries about, and is happy when she is successful in solving crimes. I look forward to reading the next episode in Joanna Brady's life. "
