Dead Wrong Summary

Juggling a family and a career is never easy -- and it's becoming a real challenge for Sheriff Joanna Brady. First, the body of an unidentified man is found in the desert. Then one of Joanna's officers is brutally attacked and left for dead while on an unauthorized stakeout.

Dead Wrong Reviews

"As usual, Jance deftly brings the desert, people and towns of southeastern Arizona to life." - Publishers Weekly.

"A solid entry in this popular series." - Booklist.

"Typical Jance fare: lots of plotting, not all of it well-thought-out, and a generous helping of schmaltz." - Kirkus Reviews.
