Description
"In 1927 Montana, a woman's best friend might be a wolf, her worst enemy the man she loves, and her salvation the truth she's running from."
Meet Delores Bailey -- moonshiner, outsider, and a woman who learned early that trust is as dangerous as the bootlegged whiskey she sells. When she fled Philadelphia's mob scene for the rugged isolation of Montana's Tobacco Root Mountains, she thought she'd finally outrun her past. But in 1927, even the wide-open spaces of Montana can't hide a woman forever.
Running a successful moonshine operation in Prohibition-era Pony Gulch should be enough to keep Delores satisfied. She's got her still, her independence, and a handful of unlikely friends -- including a mysterious white wolf and an imaginary Charlie Chaplin who keeps her company on lonely mountain runs. But when her mentor Pete is murdered and all signs point to her charming but unreliable beau Johnny as the killer, Delores must decide: run again, or stand her ground and face the truth?
With help from an unlikely alliance with the local schoolteacher and a surprisingly sympathetic sheriff, Delores dives into an investigation that will force her to confront not just a killer, but her own demons. In a town where everyone has secrets and trust comes at a deadly price, she'll discover that sometimes the hardest person to believe in is yourself.
A gritty tale of redemption, resilience and unexpected friendship, Big Sky Murder blends historical fiction with a dash of mystery and a uniquely feminist take on the American West. Perfect for readers who love their heroines complex, their history authentic, and their happy endings hard-won.
