In the second book in the Emily Trace Mysteries series, our heroine ventures out into the no man’s land between Rockford and Spangle, two small towns in the dryland farming country known as “The Palouse.” Her investigation takes her even further south, where she snoops below the shadow of Tekoa Mountain. What started out as car trouble leads Emily and her team into a tangle of alien invasion plots and sound-induced hypnotic mind-control.
