4 out of 5 stars Kindle Copy for Review

Elsie Arnold is a prosecutor in her small town in the Ozark hills.  As she struggles to make a name for herself as she waits for a murder to make her career.  When a woman’s body is found under a bridge, she jumps at the chance to work on the case with the help of her new assistant Chuck Harris and her newest fling Detective Bob Ashlock.

As the evidence shows that she was driving a school bus is found, there is blood inside and the only suspect a fifteen boy who pleads his innocent.  The more they search the case, the more the evidence to the boy but he says there was another hitchhiker whom she picked up beside him.

Elsie is in a no win situation as there has never been successfully prosecuted a juvenile for first-degree murder in McCown County.  If she loses her career will be at stake and a homicide unresolved and if she wins a fifteen boy will lose his liberty before his sixteen birthday.


Will Elsie manager to solve this case or will she end up being a victim as well?
