Expertly plotted and paced ★★★★ Time Out
Kath Horvath is found dead in the New Mexico desert. With her body is a message for her estranged daughter Sam:

Now Sam has an unimaginable chance to rebuild their broken relationship. But first, she must decide whether she can finish what Kath has started.
