Lament for a Dead Cowboy

Book excerpt: "CATHERINE DAIN HAS DONE IT AGAIN, ONLY BETTER, I AM CAPTIVATED."—Margaret Maron, author of Bootlegger's Daughter A RUGGED LIFE...AND A SUDDEN DEATH Freddie didn't know what to expect when she arrived in Elko to attend a gathering of cowboy poets. What she found was actual cowboys—and cowgirls—reciting verse, drinking whiskey and catching up with old buddies. The friendly get-together turned ugly though, when one of the cowboy poets was found dead...and Freddie’s boyfriend was accused. Now she's learning more about Sam's past than she ever knew—and hoping she hasn't been keeping company with a killer... A FREDDIE O'NEAL MYSTERY For fun, she likes a game of Keno. To relax, she'll hang out with her cats. And for excitement, nothing beats piloting a plane. But when it comes to crime—in a gambling town like Reno—Freddie O'Neal is all business.
