Devil's Claw

A piercing ill wind blows hot out of the silent Arizona desert. A Native American woman is dead-an ex-con once jailed for the murder of her husband-and her teenage daughter has vanished into the long shadows of the night-still canyons. A dedicated law officer, Sheriff Joanna Brady of Cochise County has suffered stoically through loss and pain-yet she has never wavered in her commitment to duty and the pursuit of justice. Now, as she stands on the brink of a new life and new happiness, death is summoning her once more, calling her down a twisted trail of hatred, greed, and devastating consequence to the black heart of the Dragoon Mountains. There is no respite yet for Joanna Brady-only a terrifying excursion into a world of passion and violence, where long-buried secrets are the best reasons of all to kill...or to die.Jance, J.
