Live Wire: Maggie Killian 1 — a What Doesn't Kill You Super Series Mystery

Maggie Killian was once a successful country music artist with a multiplatinum album, Grammy Award, and number-one hits. After struggling with cocaine and heroin addiction, she spent fifteen years rebuilding her life and now runs an antique shop in Texas. When she drives a vintage magenta pickup to Wyoming to see Hank Sibley at a bar in Buffalo, she finds him with a girlfriend. Stranded at the Double S ranch after her truck is sabotaged, Maggie's situation escalates when a young cowboy she previously knew is found bludgeoned to death in a hotel parking lot. She becomes the Buffalo Police Department's primary suspect. Her cabin is broken into twice, and a championship belt buckle she has carried for fifteen years is stolen. When Hank is shot in the mountains, Maggie finds herself caught in a series of dangerous events: riding a pregnant draft horse across open range, breaking into a shack, and shooting a stalker with a bow and arrow during a forest fire on the Bighorn Mountains. Live Wire is the first book in the Maggie Killian Series, set in Wyoming. Related works include the prequel stories Buckle Bunny and Shock Jock, which explore Maggie's background.
