NY, NY: Harper Collins, 2002. 1st. Ed. FINE/FINE. "Following a well-received debut (2000's Brown-Eyed Girl), the new adventure featuring "Mustang" Sally Adler (for the car, not the horse) and the living jewel called Wyoming is another delectable tale of strong women of the West. Swift gives readers a lot to like: wicked satire of pompous academics, smart but not smart-alecky writing, the achingly beautiful landscape of the eastern Rockies, great sex between grownups old enough to know what they're doing and why and most of all, the dead-on portrayal of a Western town, in this case Laramie, Wyo. (pop. 27,000). A history professor at the University of New Mexico, Swift clearly knows how Westerners act and think.." -- PW. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Book.

It turns out his concern is justified when Nina is found shot to death in the snow-covered forest behind her house.
