Driving treacherous roads and avoiding rattlesnakes become the least of her worries. What Millie expects to be a peaceful summer turns into a chaotic hunt for a ruthless killer. Millie experiences the friction of working for the BLM through the characters she meets--a secretive cowboy, friendly oil and gas hand, out-spoken environmentalist, foreign tourist, and a cheeky Navajo biologist. Some of these become allies, one ends up threatening her life. When autopsies reveal the seemingly unrelated deaths involve plants, Millie draws on her knowledge of ecology as she races to investigate the murderer--before she becomes the next victim."--Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Murder $v Fiction. $9 204353 650 0 $a Botanists $v Fiction. $9 323804 650 0 $a Plant ecology $v Fiction. 651 0 $a New Mexico $v Fiction. $9 212248 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft $9 802168 941 $a 1 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909055707.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=43C60EF4300611EDA406B4E81FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
