Stella Hardesty dispatched her abusive husband with a wrench
shortly before her fiftieth birthday. A few years later, she's so
busy delivering home-style justice on her days off, helping other
women deal with their own abusive husbands and boyfriends, that she
barely has time to run her sewing shop in her rural Missouri
hometown. Some men need more convincing than others, but it's
usually nothing a little light bondage or old-fashioned whuppin'
can't fix. Since Stella works outside of the law, she's free to do
whatever it takes to get the job done---as long as she keeps her
distance from the handsome devil of a local sheriff, Goat
Jones.
When young mother Chrissy Shaw asks Stella for help with her
no-good husband, Roy Dean, it looks like an easy case. Until Roy
Dean disappears with Chrissy's two-year-old son, Tucker. Stella
quickly learns that Roy Dean was involved with some very scary men,
as she tries to sort out who's hiding information and who's merely
trying to kill her. It's going to take a hell of a fight to get the
little boy back home to his mama, but if anyone can do it, it's
Stella Hardesty.
Sophie Littlefield possesses all the verve and confidence of a
seasoned pro. This debut novel rings true at every heart-stopping
turn, utterly bewitching us with its gutsy, compassionate voice and
boasting some of the most captivating, complex characters in crime
fiction today.
