When Josie, a thirteen-year-old foster girl, entered a new foster home and was shown her downstairs bedroom, she was told to never enter a nearby room. That made her curious, and she promised herself to one day find out what was inside. In a few days, she got a younger foster-girl roommate, made a strong emotional relationship with the twin boys next door, and experienced a fearful encounter on a school bus. Never did she forget her promise, especially when the mystery room got a new locked door. One day her foster father unexpectedly invited her into the mystery room. She was both excited and a little fearful as she accepted his offer. Fortunately, a text from one of the twins next door delayed her decision. But the second invitation she got to enter the room, she couldn't get out of, and it changed her life forever.

"Police Chief Josie Gray wakes in the middle of the night, sure that she's heard a car slowly passing by her remote homestead. When she goes outside to check, she discovers a woman, mute with shock and terror, hiding on her porch. And when she explores the field nearby, she comes across the body of another young woman, shot and killed. Located on the border of Texas and Mexico, the small town of Artemis has become a way station for the coyotes who ferry immigrants across the Rio Grande. But they usually keep moving north, to cities where they will pass by unnoticed. As Josie investigates the murder and tries to learn the identity of her uninvited houseguest, she discovers that not everyone in Artemis has stayed out of the trafficking business, and someone may play a bigger role than she ever expected. This fifth book in Tricia Fields' Hillerman prize-winning series captures the raw natural beauty of West Texas and the tough, independent people who choose to live at the very edge of the country"--

A colorful account of a nineteenth-century Big Easy icon—entrepreneur, pioneer, caretaker, philanthropist, and owner of the most dangerous brothel in the city. At a time when women were denied opportunity, the lavish parlors of Storyville offered advancement for women who welcomed the vice. Mary Deubler, the Storyville madam who called herself Josie Arlington, more than welcomed carnal enterprise. A turbulent childhood forced her into a life of prostitution at an early age, but fueled by ambition, she opened a brothel that soon developed a dangerous reputation in a city famous for competitive iniquity. Devastating circumstances spun her into a new path lined with luxury. Her palace, the brothel she named the Arlington, cemented her legacy. An establishment filled with exotic girls, who added a rare air of refinement to its proffered debauchery, it allowed Josie to become something even rarer for her time: a self-made woman of vast wealth and influence. Author Marita Woywod Crandle charts Josie’s rise while painting a vivid picture of New Orleans’s red-light district.
