As the sheriff of a small town in the Black Hills of South Dakota, Maddie Turner lives a quiet, simple life.

And when three mysterious strangers show up with questions of their own, the peaceful life she loves so much will forever be changed.
This book also includes the short story "Hostages," originally published in 2013 as "Hostage Desert."
When a couple picks up a hitchhiker on a lonely stretch of desert highway, his possession of a revolver quickly turns their generosity to fear. But are they the ones in danger, or is it the stranger who should be concerned?
What critics are saying:
Palmer successfully toes the line between blasphemy and historical accuracy, for an edgy and exciting, albeit short-lived, thrill ride.
If you like smart, sophisticated plot lines with the kind of detail that puts you 'in the story', you'll love "Relyk"
