A young barmaid confessed to killing an attacker and setting a fire to conceal that. Months later her dying mother begs ex-spy Phoenix Smith to prove Sheriff Annalynn Keyser s late husband prompted a false confession. Only identifying the real killer will free the daughter to care for her fatherless child.
Phoenix and singer Connie Diamante investigate but don t tell Annalynn, their lifelong friend. The investigation takes the women to the burnt-out bar and introduces them to families crippled by guilt and bigotry.
Annalynn recruits Phoenix and her dog, Achilles, to help capture a serial burglar. When someone tries to kill Phoenix and Achilles, she doesn t know which case puts her in danger. Phoenix must smoke out the killer to save her own and others lives."
