When her estranged mother becomes the target of a killer, Kate must decide whether blood truly outweighs betrayal.
"Baker is skilled at telling her story... A really solid read." --First Clue
Marguerite Fox is back.
Three years after vanishing without a word, the woman who shattered Kate's family has returned to the Sandhills--and this time, someone wants her dead.
A shot fired. A chase through open country. Suddenly, Kate is forced to do the unthinkable: face a past she thought was buried. With her siblings on edge, threats circling closer, and trust wearing thin, protecting her family might mean protecting the one person she can't forgive.
But Marguerite has secrets buried deeper than prairie roots--and she's not done making deals. As loyalties shift and old wounds rip open, Kate must choose between justice and family... before someone else makes the choice for her.

About the Author
Shannon Baker is the award-winning author of The Desert Behind Me and the Kate Fox series, along with the Nora Abbott mysteries and the Michaela Sanchez Southwest Crime Thrillers. She is the proud recipient of the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers 2014 and 2017-18 Writer of the Year Award.

A lover of the great outdoors, she can be found backpacking, traipsing to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, skiing mountains and plains, kayaking lakes, river running, hiking, cycling, and scuba diving whenever she gets a chance. Arizona sunsets notwithstanding, Baker is, and always will be a Nebraska Husker. Go Big Red.
