In the fifth of Dianne Day's acclaimed mysteries, the intrepid Fremont's first joint sleuthing adventure with her partner, Michael, has explosive consequences that almost prove fatal for them both. Fremont Jones and her "partner in love and work," Michael Archer, have been hired to look into a series of petty vandalisms plaguing the Southern Pacific Railroad.
