Synopsis

When Deb Ralston discovers the dead

body of a faithful Fort Worth postman

alongside a smoldering 1957 Chevrolet,

the last thing she thinks about is

the value of the car. A forty-two-year-

old expectant mother and veteran

police detective, Deb Ralston has

learned to focus on the human side of

her casesthe clues of nuance and

personalityespecially when it comes

to murder. When Deb starts asking

questions this time, she quickly discovers

that quite a few Fort Worth

residents own '57 Chevroletsand

that you'd have to have a very good

reason to burn one.

The clues point up a twisting rural

road to a farmhouse where a little girl

is found dead, still in her parochial

school uniform. Deb is suddenly investigating

a kidnap-murder in which the

parents were foolish enough to send

the ransom money through the mail.

Spurred into action by the facts of the

case, Deb is held back by Federal postal

regulations and long-standing Fort

Worth rivalries and dismayed by the

realization that some of the chief suspects are people she's known all her life.
