Meadowlark Madness

Emily Trace is a young widow with a mission: to find out who murdered her husband. The police are baffled, and after six months she decides to take matters into her own hands. Opening her own detective agency - E. T. Investigations - seems to Emily like a good way to look for clues. That is, until her first client shows up with the mistaken impression that E. T. stands for Extra Terrestrial instead of Emily Trace. He hires her to find a bird, but what she finds instead is mind boggling. Set in the Pacific Northwest city of Spokane, Washington, Meadowlark Madness is the first installment in a series of tales which take the reader into the small towns of the Palouse farming community and the nearby Idaho panhandle.
