  Everyone
  knows who killed Maggie Schneider. But why? 
   
  On the
  morning of March 14, 1958, breeder Maggie Schneider, the Poultry Queen of Lipan
  County, is shot and killed while feeding her prize-winning, White Holland
  turkeys on her farm in south central Texas. Everyone knows who did it, but
  finding the killer isn’t so easy. The search uncovers a troubled family history
  of insanity, accidental deaths, and suicides. Was Maggie Schneider’s murder the
  result of a tainted bloodline, a family feud gone too far, or something more
  sinister?
   
  Inspired
  by true events, novelist Cynthia Leal Massey weaves an intricate tale that
  spans the decades from the Great Depression to the crippling drought of the
  fifties. This is not a whodunnit. The mystery here is more profound: Why did
  he do it?

  In order for Pepper to fight the Order successfully, she must tap the very depths of her power. But Pepper also needs allies.  
  Pepper thinks she’s found one within the Order’s very ranks. But when her ally is murdered, Pepper herself looks guilty of the crime.  
  There’s no denying Pepper’s got a lot on her plate—learn her magic, prove she isn’t the killer and oh yes, finally give Axel an answer to his proposal.

  Yet she must also uncover a killer. Can Pepper do it all? Face down the Order and solve a murder without getting herself killed in the process? Will she survive long enough to give Axel an answer? Can she finally put the lingering tension between her and Rufus to rest?  
  And most importantly, will Betty’s resistance cripple the Order’s ranks or cause more trouble for Pepper and the gang?

  It disappears into the cracks like the ground is trying to swallow what happened.

  He knows the smell of panic. The look of fresh grief. The way a scene can feel wrong before the evidence catches up.
