Reader Review: This is the second (and best)book in the series. This book has lies, blackmail, family drama, and murder. The character development in this book is quite exceptional, and the murder mystery is a hit. Usually the end of the book is pretty predictable, but this one was quite unique. Although it is not necessary to have read the first book in the series to understand this one, it wouldn't hurt.
Grisly murders are rocking the small county of Bear Butte where Julie Collins has spent the last few months learning the PI biz without the guidance of her best friend and business partner, Kevin Wells. Enter dangerous, charismatic entrepreneur Tony Martinez, who convinces Julie to take a case involving a missing five-year-old Native American girl, the innocent pawn in her parents’ child custody dispute. Although skeptical about Martinez’ motives in hiring her, and confused by her strange attraction to him, Julie nevertheless sees the opportunity to hone her investigative skills outside her office. But something about the case doesn’t ring true. The girl’s father is foreman on the controversial new Indian casino under construction at the base of the sacred Mato Paha, and the girl’s mother is secretly working for a rival casino rumored to have ties to an east coast crime family. Local ranchers – including her father – a Lakota Holy group, and casino owners from nearby Deadwood are determined to stop the gaming facility from opening. With the body count rising, the odds are stacked against Julie to discover the truth behind these hidden agendas before the murderer buries it forever. And when Julie unwittingly attracts the attention of the killer, she realizes no place is safe, not even hallowed ground.

Hallowed Ground
Chapter One
One week earlier ...
The dog days of summer didn't incite the euphoria I remembered from my youth.
No agenda except endless hours of swimming and bike riding. Running through the sprinkler. Stretching out in the freshly mown grass, watching clouds billow into mysterious shapes or form towering thunderheads. Drinking Kool-Aid. Making mud pie masterpieces and dandelion necklaces.
A wave of sleepiness washed over me. What I wouldn't give for a nap right about now. I lifted my hair, letting the gentle breeze cool my sweaty neck and soothe my overworked adult soul.
The breeze turned gusty, shearing the documents on my desk into a mini-tornado. Pity, the paper that had landed on my cigarette didn't immediately burst into flames, like the cool burning map at the start of Bonanza. But, the edges did start to char quite nicely.
I grabbed the smoking paper and accidentally tipped over my Big Swig. Crap. Four hours worth of paperwork now swam in a lake of Diet Mountain Dew. Looked like the Jolly Green Giant had pissed on my desk.
"Fuck," I yelled to nobody in particular, complete with hand gestures. "Fuck, fuck, fuck!"
Two raps sounded on the open door adjoining my office to the reception area.
I glanced up.
Tony Martinez leaned against the jamb.
Hello. My heart did a slow roll then a hard thump.
He lifted a dark brow. "So, blondie, was that an invitation?"
"Not for you." I resisted the urge to smooth my hair, check my teeth for lipstick smears, pop a TicTac.
"Shame," he said, flashing perfect white teeth at me, complete with a se
