Murder by fire. A catfishing squatter. Can Maggie reclaim her life before the killer takes everything she loves?
"Hutchins' Maggie is an irresistible train wreck-you can't help but turn the page to see what trouble she'll get herself into next." - Robert Dugoni, #1 Amazon Bestselling Author of My Sister's Grave
Former alt-country rocker and junker Maggie Killian returns to Texas with her rescue mutt, Louise, and plans to lick her wounds in peace. But peace is short-lived: her long-time best friend-with-benefits, Gary Fuller, the biggest Texas country music star since George Strait, dies in a fire before she can reach him. Maggie's quiet sanctuary is quickly overrun by grief-crazed fans, Nashville bigwigs, and Gary's trailer park family-fueling media speculation about the bodies in her wake.
With law enforcement eager to pin the blame on her, Maggie suspects Gary's death is only the beginning. To save herself, her home, and everyone she loves, she must woman-up, navigate a tangle of secrets and lies, and stop the fire from consuming her life-literally and figuratively.
