Sidra Smart, fifty years old, is not your ordinary P.I.

A recently divorced preacher's wife, Sid knows next to nothing about running the private-detective business she's inherited from her brother. But her first client bursts in with vague flashbacks of a grisly thirty-year-old murder.

In Dance on His Grave, Sid plunges into a surreal world of passion, deception, and murder. The story takes place in and around Orange, Texas, in the borderlands where Texas and Louisiana meet, a region filled with colorful characters, good food, and dark secrets.

". . . a strong start to the Sidra Smart mystery series. Sid is a compelling character, a woman who lived a sheltered life, now determined to start her life anew. . . . This well-written page-turner will keep the reader entertained throughout."
