Murder-by-fire. A catfishing squatter. Will Maggie get her life back before the killer claims the one thing she has left to lose?
"Hutchinsâ Maggie is an irresistible train wreckâyou canât help but turn the page to see what trouble sheâll get herself into next." Robert Dugoni, #1 Amazon Bestselling Author of My Sister's Grave
Junker and former alt-country rocker Maggie Killian tucks tail back to Texas with Louise, the mutt her bull-riding ex foisted on her in Wyoming after he gave another woman his heart. Maggie runs straight to Gary Fullerâher long time best friend-with-benefits and the biggest Texas country music star since George Straitâbut arrives too late to save him from dying in a fire. She just wants to lick her wounds in her own bed with nothing save a bottle for comfort, but Maggieâs short term renter refuses to budge from her home. Soon her small town sanctuary is overrun with Nashville bigwigs, Garyâs trailer park family, and grief-crazed fans feeding the fires of media speculation about the bodies in her wake.
With Maggie barely functional enough to fight back and law enforcement hell bent on scapegoating her, she begins to suspect Garyâs death wasnât an isolated incident. To save her livelihood and sanity, sheâs gotta woman-up before everything and everyone she loves goes up in flames, too.
