When the Port Frederick, Massachusetts, Civic Foundation learned it was about to inherit a $4 million Kansas cattle ranch, it was up to Jenny Cain to check out this most unusual bequest. Unfortunately, when Jenny arrived at the hospital room of the Foundation's mysterious, gravely ill benefactor, Charles W. 'Cat' Benet IV, he was already dead. Murdered. Yet out on the Crossbones Ranch, Jenny was unexpectedly content. Maybe it was the wide open spaces. Or maybe it was the ranch hand Quentin Harlan, with his deep blue eyes and old-fashioned charm...
Suddenly Jenny had to concentrate hard on missing her husband Geof and her holiday. She was a happily married woman - and Cat Benet's will meant that Quentin Harlan just might be a murderer. But Benet's bizarre family tree yielded far more likely suspects: estranged daughters, unhappy ex-wives, their jealous second husbands...
Strange sort of mystery and , by the end, not a real surprise.
