China's herb shop in Pecan Springs wasn't a big business, but it kept
her busy. So she brought her taxes to Rosemary Robbins, an accountant
who reminded China a bit of her former self - preoccupied, distracted,
maybe a bit overstressed. Still, Rosemary always seemed pleasant, and
China wished she could get to know her better. Now, though, the chance
is gone. Driving out to Rosemary's house on an errand, China discovers
her accountant has been murdered. With one abusive ex-husband and plenty
of former clients in the picture, there's no shortage of suspects. And
with a vengeful ex-convict on the loose, there's plenty for China to
worry about. As the evidence unfolds, China begins to feel that
something doesn't add up. And now she's more determined than ever to
make the killer pay.
