Now in paperback, the acclaimed debut novel featuring the ghost of a murdered cowgirl who guides her grief-stricken father and a disgraced former detective to her killer--and a long-hidden family secret.The celebrated novel from a shimmering new voice in Southern fiction, Anna Michaels At twenty-six, Pony Jones is a record-breaking legend of the rodeo circuit. And when the beloved young star's body is discovered in the northern Alabama woods, it's Pony's spirit--invisible to the eye but not to the sixth sense--that guides the living to clues to her murder. Swept up in a whirlwind mystery of intense emotion are her grief-stricken father, Titus, bent on retribution; and Jo Beth Dawson, a hard-drinking former detective with an otherworldly connection with Pony--and an urgent compulsion to uncover the truth. The Huntsville rodeo leads Jo Beth to Titus, and what the unlikely partners find is more shocking than murder itself: long-buried family secrets that will bring them to search their souls for redemption . . . and tie the three of them closer than they could imagine.
