    About this series

    When the body of a missing cheerleader is found in a ditch, the local police turn the investigation over to the Pine County sheriff's department, fearing that the girl's relationship with the son of a local politician could compromise their objectivity.

    Upon arriving at the scene, Sergeant CJ Jensen quickly finds herself embroiled in the politics of the girl's murder and kidnapping. Calling in Pam Ryan to assist with the investigation, the two veteran officers dig into the girl's obvious relationship with the politician's son. While the boyfriend's shaky alibi seems paper thin, their interviews with the victim's friends have them questioning other aspects of her life. A missing laptop computer piques their interest, making them think the murderer's motive may be buried in her on-line activities.

     

    Editorial Reviews

     

    There is drama, humor and compassion blended perfectly. – Linda J.

    I don't know how you keep coming up with these great tales, they're intriguing, scary, funny and hold my attention... Can't wait for another story in Pine County. -

    Enjoyed the twists and turns of this mystery and I learned something new. The officers of pine County are interesting characters and they work together to solve three murders. Two young bodies and a tax collector have little in common. Finding the small thread takes time and energy. This is an enjoyable book and well-written. - Janet W.

     

    Mr Hovey keeps the facts of an investigation very accurate and the characters highly enjoyable. My wife frequently asks what I'm chuckling about. – Greg P.

      When Roger Bartlett doesn't return from his deer stand at sunset, his friends go looking for him. Failing to find him overnight, a broader search starts the next morning, led by the Pine County Sheriff's Department.  Sgt. C.J. Jensen discovers footprints leading to a remote summer cabin. Inside, she finds Bartlett, dead from a gunshot wound.   The investigation quickly focuses on Barlett's tire recapping business in the tiny town of Askov. The workers, all parolees from the nearby Federal Prison, are wary of the interviewing deputies, and are less than forthcoming. Roger's widow seems upset, but she is the biggest beneficiary of Bartlett's death, so a prime suspect. His partner was in Las Vegas at the time of the shooting, but his past criminal record is suspicious. As Sgt. C.J. Jensen and Investigator Pam Conrad dig, they develop a long list of suspects, all with alibis for the time of the shooting. Consulting with recently retired Sgt. Floyd Swenson, Pam and C.J. sift through layers of lies and misdirection until they uncover the motive and confront the killer.
