Publisher's Synopsis
Life sizzles for Highway Patroller Loni Wagner in a small Arizona desert town during the long summer nights. She sees it all - a plane wreck, freeway pileups, and dead bodies - as she investigates murders involving human smugglers, drug runners, and her old friend Carl. During the day, she faces high school enemies, a redneck sexist police chief who gives her unwanted jobs, and worries about her Native Indian grandparents - her grandmother is not well, and cattle rustling on their ranch is about to break them. Adding spicy flavors to this mix are two intriguing women who help her struggle to move on from the death of her lover.
