Alexandra Gaither is an attorney who finally has the power to get the justice she needs. Twenty-five years before, her mother had died a scandalous death. Alex believes one of three powerful men murdered her. Each is charming, each is a suspect, and each tries to shield her from his past. But not one of them can stop her passionate search for the truth. Like her mother before her, Alex sparks controversy and excitement in this remote Texas town. Now, as she investigates her mother's former lover, his best friend, and the father figure to them both, she will risk everything to uncover their best kept secrets.
Positive that the man convicted of her mother's murder is innocent, Assistant DA Alex Gaither is determined to learn who the real killer is. In Purcell, Texas, there are any number of suspects--local landowner Angus Minton; his son, Junior; and even the sheriff, Reede Lambert, among them. There's also the possibility that one of these men is Alex's own father--an added complication, given her attraction to two of them. This story is reminiscent of 1980s' TV shows like "Dynasty" and "Dallas," and Dick Hill's narration is a tour de force. This shouldn't surprise audiobook aficionados, who are most likely well acquainted with his talents. Hill's remarkably elastic voice suggests both age and disposition without apparent effort, adding dimension to even the most briefly appearing characters. C.E.W. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
