A rodeo producer, dead in the bull pen. Accident or murder?Elizabeth Danniher, until recently a top-flight national TV journalist, is regaining her footing after a dizzying demotion to tiny-and entirely foreign to her-Sherman, Wyoming. But her equilibrium faces a major challenge. The apparently accidental death -- under the hooves of rodeo bulls -- of a rodeo producer preparing for Sherman's annual Fourth of July Rodeo catches the attention of Elizabeth and her KWMT-TV colleague Michael Paycik. Not only is it a major story about the region's biggest event, but it's being outrageously mishandled by the station's egocentric anchor.As Elizabeth and Michael dig, area rancher Thomas Burrell joins the investigation, providing background on suspects - and there are plenty because the victim had many enemies. But Tom has divided loyalties, so Elizabeth doubts his commitment to finding the truth no matter what. Not to mention that both Mike and Tom show an interest in her ... they might be okay with working together in a peculiar triangle, but the points of this geometry is starting to get under her skin.... From the tip of the rodeo queen's tiara, to "agricultural byproducts" ground into the arena dust, TV reporter Elizabeth "E.M." Danniher receives a murderous introduction to the world of rodeo.Don't miss any of Caught Dead in Wyoming:Sign OffLeft HangingShoot FirstLast DitchLook LiveBack StoryCold OpenHot RollReaction ShotBody BraceCross TalkAir ReadyHoliday BulletsCue UpWhat people are saying about LEFT HANGING"I started laughing on the first page and continued laughing until the end.""Loving the world of Cottonwood County, Wyoming!""The dialogue was so well written that I could easily imagine the innuendo, tone of voice and facial expression of each character."What people are saying about the CAUGHT DEAD IN WYOMING series"E.M.'s internal monologues are sharp, snappy and often hilarious.""Hoping this series lasts forever!""McLinn has created in E.M. a female protagonist who is flawed but likable, never silly or cartoonish, and definitely not made of cardboard.""While the mystery itself is twisty-turny and thoroughly engaging, it's the smart and witty writing that I loved the best." -- Diane Chamberlain, bestselling authorMore mystery from Patricia McLinnSecret Sleuth seriesDeath on the DiversionDeath on Torrid AvenueDeath on Beguiling WayDeath on Covert CircleDeath on Shady BridgeDeath on Carrion LaneDeath on ZigZag TrailDeath on Puzzle PlaceThe Innocence TrilogyProof of InnocencePrice of InnocencePremise of Innocence
