After 9/11, businessman Wes Prichard, disillusioned and ready for change, leaves New York and relocates to a large ranch outside the sleepy little town of Baxter, Wyoming. But soon after meeting Jill Corbett, Baxteras blonde female deputy, his life is drawn into a series of intrigues, both romantic and criminal, as he is unaware that hidden behind the town and his ranch, secrets from the past are about to entangle him. When a twenty-year-old skeleton is unearthed on his property, it is just the beginning of the mayhem as three more murders rock the innocence of the town. Officials are baffled, especially when evidence is uncovered that relates the killings to the unsolved death of a young girl, years before. Just Outside of Baxter combines suspense, mystery, and romance to create a fast-paced novel with more twists and turns than a rollercoaster at Six Flags. It will keep you guessing until the very end.
