Bitter Rain: 3 (Kate Fox) by Shannon Baker

Shannon Baker . Unknown Year . English

Sometimes, even the best-kept secrets can't stay hidden forever. "Bitter Rain seeps into your bones and stays with you, its characters haunting your thoughts long after the rain stops and the sun breaks through the clouds." -Colorado Book Review Sheriff Kate Fox is still settling into her new role when Deputy Kyle Red Owl's sister, Shelly, vanishes from the nearby Lakota reservation. Convinced it's an "Indian issue," neighboring sheriffs are reluctant to get involved. Tempers flare-and Kate knows things are bound to get even more heated. But when Kate and Kyle start to gather evidence, they realize the case isn't at all what it seems. Their search for Shelly has uncovered deep-buried family secrets, and soon, Shelly isn't the only one in danger. As Kate struggles to nail down a suspect-and with the truth seeming just out of reach-the new sheriff knows she's running out of time. And then she makes a big mistake. Can Kate right the wrong in time to save the life that's hanging in the balance?

About the Author

Shannon Baker is author of the Kate Fox Mystery series. Set in rural Nebraska cattle country, according to a starred review in Library Journal, "Baker’s writing evokes the beauty of the Nebraska Sandhills, and her colorful cast of secondary characters adds a depth of charm." Now a resident of Tucson, Baker spent 20 years in the Nebraska Sandhills, where cattle outnumber people by more than 50:1. Shannon is proud to have been chosen Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers’ 2014 and 2017 Writer of the Year. Her stand-alone psychological thriller, The Desert Behind Me, was the 2019 New Mexico/Arizona Book Award winner. Baker also writes the Nora Abbott mystery series, a fast-paced mix of Hopi Indian mysticism, environmental issues, and murder. The first in the series, Height of Deception, is set in Flagstaff, AZ, where she lived for several years and worked for The Grand Canyon Trust, a hotbed of environmentalists who, usually, don’t resort to murder. It is a 2013 finalist in the New Mexico/Arizona Book Awards. A lover of the great outdoors, she can be found backpacking in the Rockies, traipsing to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, skiing mountains and plains, kayaking lakes, hiking, cycling, and diving whenever she gets the chance. Having the desert for a backyard is a daily thrill, bringing javelinas, rattlesnakes, zillions of birds, and spectacular sunsets every day. Arizona sunsets notwithstanding, Baker is, and always will be, a Nebraska Husker. Go Big Red. Click FOLLOW for instant notification of new releases.
