Murder in the BrothelMurder in the Brothel

"A very pregnant Sheriff Maggie Monroe investigates a missing person's report on a Chicken Dinner Ranch brothel worker. The Sheriff finds that the worker, Brandy, is a suspect in her own mother's brutal murder three years ago in Reno. Ginger, Brandy's sister, has moved to Barrier with her ne'er-do-well husband, Ace, and refuses to give any information about Brandy. Sheriff Maggie learns that Ginger and Ace hail from Texas and he may be hiding from the law. Sheriff Maggie uses her instincts and skill to identify Ace in a cold case murder from long ago. But when Brandy's body is found in the moat of the local Castle Hotel, all bets are off, and nothing adds up. Sheriff Maggie Monroe, eight months pregnant, and her husband Brick begin digging a swimming pool for their twin boys. The project is delayed when they dig into a 1950's bomb shelter and find mysterious tunnels leading to a cemetery. A surprise finding of money and jewelry adds to the puzzle. Secrets of abuse, tunnels, disappearing money and jewelry, along with the brutal murder of a mother in Reno, and three years later the daughter in Barrier, haunt Sheriff Maggie as she strives for the truth."--
