And when Christine Hauner, Fonnie's aide, is found dead at a demonstration, the older woman takes it personally.
 Along with her new friend Bebe Englehook, a dedicated activist determined to expose the dangerous landfill scheme, Fonnie digs into Christine's past. But high-stakes corruption and scandal are dangerous traps for a woman just learning to walk with a cane. And Fonnie hasn't come this far to sell out to a clever killer--at any price.
