<p>Retired school librarian Darby Matheson can't seem to avoid getting tangled in other people's problems. Maybe it's because socialite and volunteer extraordinaire Willemina shanghais her for every charity event in town. Maybe it's because the lure of former fashion model Ariana's ongoing marital melodrama is too strong to resist. Maybe it's because after twenty-seven years of marriage, she's got more to say to others than to her quiet husband; Thurman would rather listen to the hum of his band saw than to her anyway. But, most likely, it's because she purposefully tunes out her sixth sense. Whatever the reason, outgoing, warmhearted, intuitive Darby gets wrapped up in her first murder investigation in her hometown of Dulcinea, Texas, when a woman she is less than fond of is found strangled to death and Darby's former student is accused. But Darby knows there is no way Isaac Molina committed murder even if he has always been a "hot-headed, trouble-making, bound-to-drop-out kid."</p>

<p>The ranch is a world away from the drugs and gangs of Houston, but even on his own turf, John Suarez can't shake the image of the dead child. In the darkness of the bedroom, Ranita Hunter reaches for the phone futilely praying the caller is her husband. Her hello is met by silence, and Ranita is becoming uncomfortably familiar with the caller who never speaks. Murder throws John back into police work and into the company of the woman he spent fifteen years avoiding, but Ranita needs his help, whether she wants it or not. Letters threatening Ranita and her family begin to arrive and while John races to discover the identity of the stalker, the threat grows to real danger. Even running home to Daddy can't save Ranita and her children from the killer.</p>
