A cop is car-bombed in Texas -- and her brother comes from Capitol Hill to investigate -- in this Edgar Award winner by "one of the best storytellers around" (The New York Times Book Review).

A long-distance call from his small Texas hometown on his birthday gives Benjamin Dill the news that his sister Felicity -- born on the same day exactly ten years later -- has died in a car bomb explosion. She was a homicide detective who had perhaps made one enemy too many over the course of her career.

Unwilling to let local law enforcement handle the investigation, Dill, a consultant for a Senate subcommittee, arrives in town from DC that night to begin his dogged search for his sister's killer. What he finds is no surprise to him as he begins to unravel town secrets, because Benjamin Dill is never surprised at what awful things people will do.
