Description

When crime reporter Molly Cates’s father died more than twenty-five years ago, the case was ruled a suicide, and Molly’s efforts to prove otherwise led to nothing but anguish and the breakup of her family. But now new information has come her way and she reopens the investigation–and a rush of old wounds–with a vengeance. Soon the personal becomes dangerously political as Molly’s search for the truth leads her from the stately halls of Texas government to the mean streets of Austin’s down-and-out–and ultimately to a moral dilemma she never could have anticipated.

an often overlooked writer of great murder/mysteries. I don't really like this genre, but Mary Willis Walker tells a great story with unusual circumstances. A great airplane read (if you don't get the creeps to easy.)

Was a pretty good book. The end was a little... expected, I think, but otherwise definitely enjoyable.
