About this audiobook

A cop lies dying beneath the blistering Arizona sun—a local lawman who may well have become the next sheriff of Cochise County. The police brass claim that Andy Brady was dirty, and that his shooting was a suicide attempt. Joanna Brady, his devoted wife and mother of their nine-year-old daughter, knows a cover-up when she hears one . . . and murder when she sees it. But her determined efforts to hunt down an assassin and clear her husband's name are placing Joanna and her surviving family in harm's way—because in the desert, the one thing more lethal than a rattler's bite . . . is the truth.

Ratings and reviews

love my first time listening in Audio Book's back in the early 2000's . So Happy that you can still find these now in 2023. they help me drive the roads of America. I was a long haul truck driver then and I drive a Shuttle Van now. Makes the run fell shorter.

Great mystery, lots of human interest, emotional support, pain, determination!!
