<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Reprint. Originally published: New York: St Martin's Press, c1996.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>If what you're hiding is motive, Gastner will ferret it out and do what needs to be done. An outstanding mystery. --<i>Booklist</i> starred review</b></p> <p>Posadas Register reporter Linda Real barely survives her nighttime patrol with one of Undersheriff Bill Gastner's deputies. He is killed by a more accurate shotgun blast than the one that ruins her face. Teamed with his intuitive, observant detective Estelle Reyes-Guzman and her usual sharp eye for physical evidence, Bill implicates Tammy Woodruff, the thrill-seeking daughter of the local Republican County Chairman, in the brutal assault. Before he can interrogate her, though, Tammy hightails it. Soon she is found crushed to death after her truck goes off the road while she's loaded with booze - in fact, far too much alcohol, for anyone to have consumed....</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>The fourth Gastner case is easily the best, no small feat in a series as strong as this one. Gastner is compassionate, intelligent, bulldog tough, and painfully aware of all his limitations, both physical and emotional. The same inward eye that provides insight into his own soul can quickly swivel outward to discern others' hidden traits. And if what you're hiding is motive, Gastner will ferret it out and do what needs to be done. An outstanding mystery. - <strong><em>Booklist STARRED Review</em></strong><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p> Steven F.
