Wyn Price was a successful San Diego homicide detective until her feckless husband exited her life, leaving her with an unplanned pregnancy and an imploding career. Unemployed and bitter, she accepts a job as a town cop in rural Perseverance, Wyoming, where she plans to raise her daughter and sink into obscurity.

When an elderly widow is murdered in the county and the dysfunctional sheriff’s department can’t handle the case, Wyn’s boss assigns the investigation to her. The prime suspect is a powerful rancher who coveted the widow’s land, yet the evidence is contradictory and locals are deeply divided about his guilt.

Despite pressure from her boss to close the case quickly, her instincts force her to delve deeper into the dark secrets beneath the tranquil facade of the little mountain village. What she finds suggests an organized cover-up, one that might destroy the community if exposed.

Then the killer rackets up the stakes, turning Wyn’s investigation inside out and jeopardizing those closest to her.

Set against the wild, majestic backdrop of Wyoming’s Wind River Range, Perseverance follows Wyn’s race against time to solve the murder and unmask an evil lurking under the idyllic surface of a small town before more people die.
