The Rodeo Incident Carrie Boyer

THE RODEO INCIDENT is the seventh novel in the Jill Tanner, PI, series. Set in the mountain town of Prescott, Arizona, "Everyone's Hometown," Jill is investigating the death of a client's friend, rodeo champion Cody Baily, who died while bull riding at the World's Oldest Rodeo in Prescott, AZ. Three years ago. Jill was skeptical until she viewed a cell phone video of Cody's last ride: although it wasn't shown in the video, Jill is sure that something happened to Cody in the chute before he mounted up on the bull, Potato Pancake. Was it an accident? Or was it cold, calculated murder? Jill finds that evidence points to murder, but why? Suspects are spread out over 400 miles of Arizona's Yavapai County, and it appears the man pulling strings behind the scenes is a powerful honcho with money and connections. Jill realizes she may be heading for a Wild West showdown on the grand opening day of the Rodeo where the men behind Cody's murder are gathered, and who would like nothing better than to see her demise.
