Perhaps She'll Die: A Chantalene Mystery

Marcia Preston, M. K. Preston. Intrigue Press, $23.95 (218pp) ISBN 978-1-890768-33-1

Chantalene Morrell, a Gypsy from Tetumka, Okla., returns in search of the men who lynched her father and caused her mother to disappear in M.K. Preston's first book, Perhaps She'll Die. She gets a whiff of what she's up against when the butcher offers her information and ends up murdered, but a dauntless Chantalene, aided by a local boy back home for a visit, plumbs the depths of the hostile town and her own memories.
