Deadly Deception in Arizona (An Abby Taylor Mystery)

Deadly Deception in Arizona: A Novel of Suspense
by Elizabeth Bruening Lewis

Bright, determined and focused Abby Taylor has not lost her sense of
humor in spite of taking an indefinite leave of absence from her position
as Professor of Anglo Saxon Studies at Vassar College due to Polycystic
Kidney Disease. And she certainly doesn't go out looking for trouble any
more than her attractive companion, Northern Arizona Forestry Professor
David Neale does. But once again it finds them. And once again, Abby's
beloved Corgi dog Francis will do all that he can to protect his humans.


In the midst of the beautiful ranching country near Prescott,
AZ, where their borrowed house is located, Abby and David, along with
the faithful Francis, should be enjoying a pleasant break from daily
cares and concerns. But alas, disturbing events begin unfolding left and
right.

Who would poison a Hereford Yearling? Who would shoot an
innocent and much respected Basque sheepherder? And who would turn the
highway going down from Mingus Mountain into a death trap?

As they try to live their peaceful lives amidst the splendor of the high
desert, it becomes evident that some questions must be answered if Abby,
David, and Francis are going to stay alive... in Arizona.
