Shadow Dancer Was Readying Her Hogan For A Healing Ceremony -- and Her Own Terrible Death....
And the beautiful cosmic healer, nee Bridget McCree, had not been dead long when her neighbor Shirley McClintock found her viciously mutilated body.
Was the murder the work of extraterrestrials, as recent cattle mutilations in the Santa Fe area are believed to be? Shirley's investigation into Shadow Dancer's torrid romances and tangled family affairs suggests more traditional motivations: greed, lust, and envy.
So after a second sordid killing and sly rumors that Shirley and her family are somehow involved in both crimes, she goes on the warpath: straight toward the unexpected truth and a head-on confrontation with Shadow Dancer's murderous last client...
From the Publisher
"Crusty" is the best way to describe Southwestern rancher Shirley McClintock, the star of this series that began with Death in the Scrub. But she's a warm-hearted and common-sense crusty. It's hard not to like someone who occasionally goes on a rant about the state of the world and mutters, "Idiocy. We are mired in idiocy."
This installment of Shirley's adventures finds her moved from Colorado to New Mexico where she lives among people, including the local sheriff, who seriously believe that extra-terrestrials not only walk among us but occasionally murder and mutilate cattle and the occasional human. It takes Shirley's refreshing brand of common sense to pin the ruckus on more traditional things like greed, lust, and envy.
