Mayor Ron Steadman of Centerville, New Mexico, is ready
for reelection. The campaign has been running smoothly, no question. No
opponent stands a chance against this powerful community leader. The election
is only a month away, and the desert skies couldn’t be bluer—that is until
there’s a murder, and Ron’s wife, Val, becomes the prime suspect.
Valarie Steadman is a scientist and university laboratory
director for stem cell research, but she’s not a murderer. Someone has set her
up, but she wonders whether the perpetrator is out to ruin her—or her husband.
She enlists the help of lab assistant Steve Janson to help her solve the crime
and clear her name. Meanwhile, the mayor—who happens to be an ex-FBI
agent—joins forces with the local homicide detective, Joe Maxwell, to do a
little investigation of his own.
Soon,
Ron and Joe find themselves near the border of Mexico, where a drug cartel that
might be tied to the murder gets involved. When the FBI and DEA join the fray,
things get even more complicated. It’s a good thing Ron is a politician; he
knows how to change complicated into simple. Still, his time is running out. If
he’s lucky, he can get reelected and save the life of the woman he loves.
