Where the Crows Fly - Paperback

In the town of Breyer, Texas, murder don't stay buried long.

In Breyer, Texas, a murder of crows circles overhead the morning Big Andy Connor is found facedown in the mud behind his saloon.

The Crow Fly wasn't just a brothel. To the women who live and work there, it's shelter. Hard-won. Held together by grit and necessity, for better or worse. With Big Andy gone and the law circling just as surely as the crows, they can't wait for protection or permission. They take the reins. Old Peg, Kate Dawson, Molly Brewster, and Cocheta band together to keep the brothel running-because when the world turns its back, women turn to each other. Emily Augusta, the local dressmaker who found Andy's body, steps in to manage the books.

But in Breyer, the past never stays buried.

As Sheriff Jed Thornton hunts for a killer, old grudges surface, a slick stranger starts buying up the town, and the women of The Crow Fly learn that justice-like grief-isn't always clean. Sometimes it's quiet. Sometimes it's cold. And sometimes, it flies on black wings.

Where the Crows Fly is a haunting Western mystery from Will Rogers Medallion-winning author Sharon Frame Gay-a story of survival, sisterhood, and the thin line between guilt and grace in a town too good at keeping its secrets.
