When Detective Moore goes to the Sagebrush and finds attorney Arnold Reynolds dead and dishonored she knows this case is trouble. His most recent high profile case involved Reverend Donald Ridgeway whose community-mindedness has a sinister ulterior motive. For over twenty-five years Ridgeway has avoided justice. All is fine until his associates start disappearing and dying. Is it an elaborate revenge plot or just garden-variety murders made to look like something else?
An overabundance suspects abound. Could it be Baker in love with her partner's wife? How about the wife and Baker? May be the wife of the reverend? By the time the case is solved Moore will have had to question her own sense of justice.
