Kate Fox · #8
Bull's Eye
Was his death a tragic accident—or a murder in cold blood?
Caught between juggling her dysfunctional family and a looming recall election, Sheriff Kate Fox feels like she’s on a bucking bronc with one hand stuck in the air. When a top bull breeder is mauled to death at a rodeo, Kate quickly realizes that this so-called accident hides a much darker truth.
Dropped from the case to protect her upcoming election bid, Kate is forced to cowboy off on her own when she fears the victim’s wife is being targeted unfairly. After her snooping reveals a list of shady suspects, each with their own reason to want the victim dead, Kate finds herself caught up in a deadly web of lies and fraud at the heart of the competitive world of rodeo.
But when her investigation takes a terrifying turn, Kate starts to question everything. How deep does the corruption go? And who will be left standing when the dust finally settles?

In the wind-swept expanse of Nebraska’s Sandhills, where isolation cuts deeper than silence and secrets are buried beneath endless skies, one woman stands at the edge of law and loyalty. The Kate Fox series brings the tension of rural crime to life—not through car chases or city grit, but through the slow-burning drama of small-town justice and the kind of grit that comes from knowing everyone in town…and knowing they’re not telling you everything.
Read full series description
When Kate, a rancher’s wife with no badge and even less training, is thrust into the role of sheriff, her life fractures. But instead of breaking, she steps forward—into power, into danger, into truths she never asked for. Each book in the series peels back another layer of a woman balancing the unforgiving demands of the law with the messy entanglements of community and kin. Here, the crimes aren’t always clean. Motives twist through generational feuds, land disputes, and long-held grudges. And the stakes aren’t just justice—they’re survival, reputation, and the fragile trust of neighbors who are more likely to call in a favor than confess to a felony.
Atmospheric and unflinching, this series captures the loneliness of the plains and the complexity of choosing right in a world that rarely makes it easy. With dry wit, emotional depth, and a keen eye for the rhythms of rural life, these books don’t just tell a mystery—they immerse you in a landscape where justice rides on instinct, and silence is often the loudest clue of all.
