Who’d ever choose to live in a town like Randallville?  Or, more importantly, who would choose to die there?!?

Three deaths in one week bring together a strange assortment of characters: a cowboy, who loses his boss at the ranch he’s been working for 40 years; a 10-year-old autistic boy, who notices things in ways no one else does; a detective, who finds cause for cool suspicion and hot desire; a female construction worker as confused by life as she is by her male co-workers; and a host of other town-folk just trying to live their darned lives. 

An epic of swirling emotions, earth-shattering plot twists, wrenching confrontations, and heart-warming connections and salvation!

Life was tumbling along like a tumbleweed, just like any other hot, dusty town in the dry heat Arizona.  Until, that is, 5 deaths occurred in the same week and arose suspicions in Madeline the detective’s mind. Benji, the local 10yr old autistic boy, had his own ideas as did Jake, the Cowboy from Casa Grande.  Add in a passing- thru- town musician/serial killer and you’ve got yourself an eventful summer.

Who dun it?  The question would be easier to answer if only there were an it that had been done.  When Madeline gets the call to investigate the death of a small town’s wealthy patriarch who, to all appearances, was merely the victim of a random car accident, she is unprepared for the twisting maze of possibilities that suggest how Manfred Randall’s life and death are intertwined with those of a spinster librarian, a 10 year old autistic boy, a displaced cowboy, and welder with a Ph.D.  Introduce a serial killer in the mix and Madeline discovers that the meaning of life, death, and culpability are not quite what she thought.
