      “Nearly ten years. I’ve waited long enough to finish what I started on the Blue River Ranch. This time, no one will be there to save you. This time, you will die.”

      Gabriel cursed. “You got this message, and you still came here?”

      Jodi shrugged, tried to make it seem as if this didn’t have her in knots.

      “This proves my father’s innocent,” she said.

      “No. A copycat could have written it. Or your father could have paid someone to do it.”

      “But I have to believe it wasn’t a copycat. It’s either that or accept that my father murdered both of your parents, attacked me and then left me for dead.” She paused, shook her head. “Of course, no one in your family had trouble believing it.”

      “Neither did a jury,” Gabriel pointed out.

      “My father was convicted on circumstantial evidence,” Jodi said, though she was preaching to the choir. Because as the sheriff and the son of the murdered couple, Gabriel knew the case better than everyone else.

      Everyone but the real killer, that was.

       Chapter One

      She had died here. Temporarily, anyway.

      But she was alive now, and Jodi Canton could feel the nerves just beneath the surface of her skin. With the Smith & Wesson gripped in her hand, she inched closer to the dump site where he had left her for dead.

      There were no signs of the site now. Nearly ten years had passed, and the thick Texas woods had reclaimed the ground. It didn’t look nearly so sinister dotted with wildflowers and a honeysuckle vine coiling over it. No drag marks.

      No blood.

      The years had washed it all away, but Jodi could see it, smell it and even taste it as if it were that sweltering July night when a killer had come within a breath of ending her life.
