When Cochise County, Arizona, Sheriff
Joanna Brady′s daughter Jenny goes off on a Memorial Day weekend girl
scout camp-out in nearby Apache Pass, Joanna trusts that her 12-year-old
daughter will behave.
But with boy-crazy Dora Matthews as a tent-mate,
Jenny is seduced into taking a late night unauthorized hike into the
wilderness where--instead of smoking a clandestine cigarette--she and
Dora stumble upon the body of a murdered Phoenix woman.
Knowing that her little girl
will be traumatized by her experience, Joanna must balance concern for
Jenny with the demands of her new marriage and possible bid for
reelection.
But when young Dora Matthews herself turns up dead two days
later, Joanna′s concern turns to terror. For if Constance Haskell′s
killer is murdering potential witnesses, Jenny may be next.
