Book 4
Being handed the keys to a Texas-style castle sounds good, but Jolene's surprise inheritance is anything but a free ride. For starters, there's the pesky toxic waste buried amongst the mesquites and pump jacks, and the surly contractors hired to deal with the mess aren't making things easy for their new commander-in-chief. Even more distasteful, the terms and conditions of the grand gift are forcing her to do what she swore she never would - move back to Kickapoo, Texas.
Admitting that Hell has frozen over and she's found herself living in it is disturbing enough, but true to form, her mother is making things exponentially worse. Lucille's broken hip is healing fast, but she's still convinced the rehab center is a death camp and is plotting an escape. Jolene's not buying it - or aiding and abetting a jail break. But when a body rolls by on a gurney, and then Lucille's friend down the hall goes missing, Jolene's hopping on board in a hot hurry.
Things aren't so great at the fancy big house either. Oh, sure, the place is fabulous - and enjoying it with the sheriff even more so. But with rehab patients hiding out in the bedrooms, flickering bats in the belfry, a mysterious explosion on the hill and illegal goods stashed at the jobsite, it's anything but home sweet home for Jolene. And with Lucille beating a path back to rehab to play self-appointed undercover mole, there's no guarantee anybody's going to live to tell about all these Killer Moves.
