Obits And Deadlines: A Music City Usa Murder Mystery

Kirby Austin is a half-Ute girl. Growing up on the reservation, most of what she has learned has come from television sit-coms. She marries young, to a rodeo bronc-buster named Jake. Once he becomes abusive, in the middle of one violent night she packs up their two kids and leaves.
Nashville, Tennessee--also known as Music City, USA--is THE place for people who want to make it in the music business, and Kirby heads there. Finding a job writing Obituaries for a local newspaper, Kirby finally feels that the puzzle known as her life has the pieces falling into place.
Then something terrible and sinister happens. A serial killer is on the loose--and Kirby is the main suspect.
She finds herself falling for a young, half-Comanche man (Nick), then feels her safe and ordered life falling apart further when the unthinkable happens.
Jake shows up in town. Kirby is suddenly in a race for time, to protect herself, her new life--and her children.
