From back of book:

Jolie Wyatt is now working as a newscaster for a local radio station. And the news is as hot as the blazing Texas sun; an escaped convict, a local boy named James Jorgenson, is believe to be heading straight for Purple Sage.

When a college kid is found dead, everyone thinks Jorgenson did it, even Jolie's teenage son who vows to catch the killer of his longtime pal. But Jolie is riding a different trail that's leading her straight to a killer. She may even get a new way to experience the murder mystery--as a corpse.
