P.I. Cassie Dewell, working for a defense attorney, must confirm the facts of a rape case, but when she starts turning over stones, she finds more than she expected.  Set in Montana.

Subtracted 1/2 a  star because of the animal stuff.  I don't need to know/think about how forest fires affect the local wildlife.  Also, some of the cow stuff made me sad.

3.5 stars.
