Lottie Albright, undersheriff of Carlton County, Kansas, isn't too thrilled with her latest assignment--going undercover at a livestock feed yard to investigate a man's death. Apparently there are some illegal activities going on in which the sheriff himself might be involved. Convinced that the sheriff is being wrongly accused, Lottie vows to clear her friend and colleague's name. This is the third Albright mystery, and, like the previous two, it draws on Lottie's other occupation--historian--to tell a story in which a modern-day crime connects with mysteries from the past.
