Synopsis

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.

I found that it was very......more

Goodreads review by SueChor on May 30, 2020

I’m going through the shelf of mysteries by women that I brought when I moved into this house 20 years ago, rereading, and deciding whether to keep any.
