Thanksgiving brings family, friendship, and foul play to New Mexico in this seventh Black Horse Campground mystery from the author of Fiesta of Fear.

An unseasonably warm November is a financial boon to Corrie Black's campground, but her personal life has taken a hit. Her friend, recovering addict RaeLynn Shaffer, disappeared two months ago, after some funds from a church festival goes missing. Det. J. D. Wilder immediately suspects RaeLynn is behind the heist, creating a wall of tension between Corrie and the officer.

Then, while jogging late one night, Wilder sees a body being dumped from a car. It's RaeLynn-and she's still alive. Drugged and beaten, she's whisked away from the village of Bonney for her own protection, and Corrie is warned that the criminal Shaffer family may be coming after her for turning RaeLynn against her own kin.

With everyone on edge and the Shaffers under surveillance, it becomes clear that the family who has terrorized Bonney for years may now have something to fear. And to draw out the villain, Corrie is willing to use herself as bait . . .
