Overview

Anita Johnston may have the soul of an artist but she's determined to establish herself as a criminal investigator even after getting booted from NYPD. When she's hired to track down a serial killer who has escaped justice for forty years, she knows she's getting in deeper than most rookie detectives-- but she's willing to risk everything for the chance to prove herself.

Samuel Watkins knows the truth about where the killer is hiding. With nothing left to lose except a broken-down farm and a few loyal animals, he can't be forced to say a word. Or can he?

A CIA agent turned rogue. A town that won't talk. A bad-tempered prize bull who takes no prisoners.

It's a challenge. But Anita will go to any lengths to solve this case... even if she has to color outside the lines to do it.
