درباره این ای-کتاب

 Praise for USA Today bestseller Connie Shelton's previous mystery books:

"Charlie is slick, appealing, and nobody's fool--just what readers want in an amateur sleuth." --Booklist

"Connie Shelton gets better with every book she writes." --The Midwest Book Review

"...Shelton's engaging story, likable heroine, and comfortable prose make this a good choice." --Library Journal

Charlie gets her newest case (the seventh in this bestselling mystery series) when an ill-tempered female attorney hires her to find the family's missing patriarch in time for an upcoming family reunion. The elderly man took off two months earlier to do some gold prospecting in the hills of southern New Mexico. Charlie agrees to ask around but privately she thinks the old man probably just left town to avoid his irritating daughter.

However, when she visits the almost-ghost town of White Oaks, Charlie comes upon a body that could be the missing Willie McBride. The mystery deepens and Charlie finds herself hiking Arizona's Superstition Mountains in search of the truth. What she finds leaves her facing a huge moral dilemma and there is no one to ask for advice.
