About This Book

A wealthy man is found murdered and witness descriptions and evidence quickly point to a visitor seen at his rooms. Kirby, who has been identified as that visitor, fears arrest but devotes himself to protecting Wild Rose and her sister, who are entangled in the case. He investigates neighbors and timelines, follows physical clues such as a glove, a brass bed and a red bandanna, and endures an inquest, family quarrels and unexpected testimony. The narrative alternates between tense sleuthing and personal loyalty as Kirby uncovers surprises and gradually exposes the complex motives and relationships behind the crime.
