Dead in Hog Heaven: A Thea Barlow Mystery

Thea Barlow is a writer for a western magazine in Chicago who quits her job and moves to Wyoming to try her hand at free-lance writing and romance. She decides to do an article on the old Four Mile Hog ranch in Hog Heaven, Wyoming, a retirement community in the 1850-92s for over-the-hill saloon girls.

What Thea finds is a community trying desperately to stay alive. Before long, she is caught up in a storm of violence, greed and deceit that leaves her accused of murder and fighting for her very life.
