Samantha Sweet's husband, Beau, gets a call from a cousin he hasn't seen in decades. Cecelia's husband was recently murdered, and the local cops in their small town haven't come up with a single suspect. She knows it wasn't the random act of violence they're claiming; Mark had been digging into something mysterious at his workplace and no one knows what kind of secrets he may have uncovered. Sam and Beau are on the road to Oklahoma to figure it out.

Creston is a typical small town and no one wants to believe there's a killer in their midst. But someone is hiding a secret that's probably worth millions of dollars. And as Beau always says—behind most murders there's a connection to either territory, love, or money. He and Sam just have to sort through the various suspects and motives to figure it out before the killer turns it back on them. Can they manage to catch the killer and still get home in time for the Thanksgiving holiday in Taos?
