Synopsis

Madeline Dare, a toughtalking, shotguntoting exdebutante, is not your average detective. Then again, not much about her life is what she expected. Born of old money into high society, she married into a Syracuse farming family and a bottomofthefoodchain job writing puff pieces for the local newspaper. Her emotional barometer these days ranges from dry irony to whining exasperation. Then Madeline discovers mysterious circumstances linking her favorite cousin to a twentyyearold murder case, and suddenly her roots are a serious matter againdeadly serious. Unwilling to turn her evidence over to the authorities before figuring some things out herself, she will embark on an illprepared and harrowing investigation into the real dark side of her world. Produced by Hillary Huber with Patrick Fraley, recorded at Buzzy's recording in Los Angeles, with music composed and performed by Martin Lund.
