Publisher's Synopsis
First, the voice, Second, the note. Third, the bullet! And it all began with an invitation from a man named Bernard Shetron.
Since coming back home from Arizona, Murial Robertson has been enjoying her new life running the old family farm with her cousin, Walter, and her friend, Jack. That is, until an unidentified prowler is spotted on their land and her mother decides to embark on a journey to California with a man she is quite fond of, Mr. Shetron.
When Murial and Jack accompany them, the trip takes a nasty detour into treacherous waters. Someone is determined to seek vengeance for what happened a year ago and they won't stop until both Murial and Jack are dead. And they aren't the only ones looking for revenge. Murial cannot quite put her finger on it, but there is something peculiar about her mother's new friend and the desert town he now calls home.
