Synopsis

Winner of the Western Writers of America Medicine Pipe Bearer Award, Texan author Allana Martin pens mysteries with a distinctive regional flair. Publishers Weekly has called this series "a refreshing read." In the Chihuahuan desert near the Texas-Mexico border, Texana Jones runs an isolated trading post.

Soon Texana's own husband, Clay, is accused of the crime. Now they must find out who's trying to frame him, and why.
