No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Introducing Royce Madison, sheriffs department
diehard deputy and dyke-about-town. When Royces father, Sheriff Grady Madison,
was killed, his murder went unsolved. Haunted by her fathers death, Royce
vowed that no other murder would go unsolved in Timber City, Colorado.
In this first intriguing mystery, Royce
explores the boundaries of sexuality, family loyalty, and town fear as she
searches for the murderer of her lovers best friend. Possible suspects abound
in the murder of the wealthy Trish Chandler-Sumner. Was it her no-good jealous
husband Luther, who also happens to be the current sheriffs brother? Could it
have been Ray, the gentle, guitar-playing young Native American implicated by
one questionable witness?
When Valeria, the object of Royces obsession,
reveals that she was sexually involved with the murdered woman, the tables
tilt. But who knew the truth? What mask hides the real killer?
Unsolved crimes means we havent struggled hard
enough for the truth. I hate being robbed of the truth. And if we accept the blank
page and tag an innocent person, were accepting a lie. When law enforcers do
that, the law becomes neutralized. Our inaction can put us on the inside of a
mask looking out. No better than the perpetrator.~ Royce Madison
