For fans of Janet Evanovich, Sandra Brown, and C.J. Box — a Wyoming-set romantic mystery with a heroine who is equal parts disaster and force of nature.Maggie Killian used to be famous. Multiplatinum album. Grammy. Country number one. Then came the cocaine and heroin and fifteen years of rebuilding, and now she runs an antique shop in Texas and tries not to think about Hank Sibley. She fails at the last part, which is how she ends up driving a vintage magenta pickup to Wyoming to surprise him at a bar in Buffalo — and finding him there with a girlfriend.When her truck is sabotaged to strand her at the Double S ranch, Maggie figures she'll make the best of it. Within a day, a young cowboy she spent one night with turns up bludgeoned to death in a hotel parking lot, and the Buffalo PD makes her their primary suspect. After her cabin is broken into twice and her most prized possession stolen — a championship belt buckle she's been carrying for fifteen years — it stops being inconvenience and starts being targeted.Then someone shoots Hank in the mountains. And Maggie, who was supposed to be leaving Wyoming, finds herself riding a pregnant draft horse across open range, breaking into a shack full of obsessive memorabilia, and shooting a stalker with a bow and arrow in the middle of a forest fire on the Bighorn Mountains.Written by an author who lives on the face of those mountains and knows every ridge.“Hutchins’ Maggie is an irresistible train wreck—you can’t help but turn the page to see what trouble she’ll get herself into next.” —Robert Dugoni, #1 Amazon Bestselling Author of My Sister’s GraveLive Wire is the first book in the Maggie Killian Series — propulsive, funny, and set in the specific and gorgeous Wyoming that only a resident could write.
