In the tradition of Tony Hillerman and Thomas Perry, this is iBooks second John Lloyd Branson mystery, following "Murder By Impulse in December, 2003. The guy with the knife sticking out of his chest, stark naked except for socks, is none other than the much-hated Charlton Price-Leigh lll, the Dept. of Energy Agent who came to the Texas Panhandle to win approval for a potentially life-threatening nuclear waste dump. The police have only one suspect: the owner of the wheat field. Like everyone else, he wanted the guy dead. But he didn't kill him. Luckily, his lawyer is John Lloyd Branson, who begins to unravel a devious conspiracy with consequences that ring across the whole state of Texas..and beyond.

First it was an accident and in the ensuing pile-up, two people die. One of them is beautiful Amy Steele, wife of Jim Steele, a Texas oil millionaire. THEN IT WAS MURDER. Eight months later, the police find out that someone had wanted Amy Steele to crash. And that isn't the only surprise in store... Eccentric attorney John Lloyd Branson, counsel for the wealthy Steele family, and his beautiful assistant, Lydia Fairchild, are challenged by a crime that is as unfathomable as it is fascinating. Branson must find a way to force the killer's hand...before more violence erupts...
