Who is up for a murder mystery? Get ready to take a look into this great thrilling book.
John Riley Hubbard is a young farmer and part-time
reporter in a small southern town. After the body of an Arab college
student is found near his home, Hubbard reluctantly agrees to cover the
grisly story for the local paper. When he discovers
there is a surprising link from this crime to his father’s unsolved
murder, he becomes obsessed with uncovering the killer’s identity. Since
he was a child, Hubbard has been haunted by nightmares and suspicions
that his father’s killer may be the man closest
to him – his wealthy uncle.
As his investigation progresses, he must face
mounting threats from an unseen adversary and managed his growing
attraction to Maria, a young Latino woman who might be part of the
conspiracy.

IT WAS THE FLOWER GARDEN THAT DID MARIA IN. Hubbard agreed
to
till up his mother’s old flower garden that had gone to seed for a
new
garden. Maria, through Emily’s translation, had requested a
fun
summertime activity.
Emily was a born salesperson. “It will teach me
responsibility if I
water
it every day. I need that bad.”
The flower garden was followed by an irrigation request
for the
home’s
vegetable garden.
Neither of the planting activities was unusual for a
farm. That’s
not
what drove Hubbard to act. What troubled Hubbard was that
Emily
now referred to them as Maria’s
flower garden and Maria’s
vegetables.
There was no time to waste. From his tractor, Hubbard
called
Mr.
Carlos and told him that Maria wasn’t working out. After his obligation
at
the Tomato Festival, they had to find new work for her. Mr. Carlos
didn’t
understand the connection between Maria and the annual
event,
but he reluctantly agreed to look for a new opportunity for
the
girl.
Hubbard feared he would eventually screw up with her. She
was
always within arm’s reach and he was too damned attracted to
her.
Sometimes the pain of his growing desire made him feel like he was
burning
alive. It made him want to drink to deal with it. That’s why
she had to go.
