From the Author
Why would a three-time killer shoot a county magistrate?This second book in the MacLaren Yarbrough series, following When Did We Lose Harriet?, finds Mac back home in middle Georgia with her husband, Joe Riddley Yarbrough, magistrate of Hope County. When their young pastor is accused of brutally murdering his neighbor, Mac believes Police Chief Charlie Muggins is driven more by prejudice than by evidence. When she looks for evidence on her own, however, many roads point not to Luke, but to her own son Walker--who, Joe Riddley claims, is "35 going on 12." Things get complicated when two more people are murdered in one weekend--and then Joe Riddley himself gets shot. MacLaren finds herself trying to unravel "But why shoot the magistrate? What did he have to do with those other deaths?" Before she gets answers, she has to face her own prejudices and the very real possibility of her own death.
