Traggedy Ann (Trade Ellis Mystery #5)
by Sinclair BrowningSEX, LIES, AND MURDER. Trade Ellis's high-country Vaca Grande ranch is just a car ride away from a world that couldn't be more different--a city of flash and glitter, poverty and hurt. Trade is happy making her living with Brahman cattle, but an occasional P. I. case in Tucson offers her good cash, a little adventure, and sometimes a date or two. Now she's been hired by an artist whose specialty is creepy paintings of wounded dolls. And this case will offer a little too much of everything: too much sex, secrecy, and murder. Trade's client is the sister of a local news anchor who has gone missing--after getting inside information on the slaying of a musician with a hidden life in a sex cult. Soon Trade finds her way into one of the cult's underground orgies, a scene that shakes and stains her part-Apache soul. Suddenly, to find the missing woman, Trade Ellis must not only match wits with a savage criminal, she must duel with demons--the kind that haunt...the kind that hurt...the kind that kill. From the Paperback edition.
