A Dead Red Heart: humorous mystery, amateur sleuth woman protagonist

Second in the Dead Red mystery series featuring Aero Ag pilot Lalla Bains:


What would you do if your loved one lost their chance at a heart transplant because the donor organ went to a convicted felon in Federal prison? Quietly grieve--or hunt them down and kill them?

Lalla Bains, Aero-Ag pilot, and sometimes busy-body is once again in the middle of a murder case, and it soon becomes crystal clear that the police are totally off base about the possible suspects. Someone is going to have to suit up to solve this case--someone who is just exasperating, pushy, and tenacious enough to get the job done-and that person will be none other than Ms. Lalla Bains.

Compounding life her tightwad father becomes a born-again lady's man, a disreputable competitor tries to push her out of business, and last but not least, there's a new and sultry redhead in Modesto's police department who just might be vying for Sheriff Caleb Stone's affections.
