Rode Hard, Put Away Dead

Dying to earn her spurs...

Even in sweltering June, there's plenty of work for Trade Ellis on her Arizona ranch, but right now her part-time P.I. practice is as dry as the desert — until bull rider J. B. Calendar marries a candy heiress who's crazy to turn cowgirl.

Abigail Van Thiessen, nipped and tucked into great shape, has thirty-two years — and a few hundred million dollars — on her husband. So when she meets her untimely death on a romantic horseback trip with her newlywed stud, the cops suspect foul play. And J.B. hires Trade to prove him innocent.

While plenty of people stood to gain from Abby's death — the ex-football-star preacher she bankrolled, a half brother with his own millions, and a topless dancer with a grudge, just for starters — no suspect looks better than J.B., a boozing tomcatter who's lucky with the ladies. Until Trade learns about another murder in town the same night Abby died ... a development that may bring the investigation — and Trade — to the very deadest of ends.

About the Author

Sinclair Browning’s first Trade Ellis mystery, The Last Song Dogs, was nominated for a Barry Award and for a Shamus Award for Best Original Paperback of 1999 by the Private Eye Writers of America. It was quickly followed by The Sporting Club. Browning is a “dirty-shirt cowgirl” whose family ranched for years. Having lived in the Sonoran Desert for most of her life, she still breaks her own horses and rounds up cattle.
