LADY OR THE TIGER When nineteen-year-old Belle King sings, the world stops to listen. They always have. Always will. Which means when she decides to die--when she turns herself in for a murder she definitely committed--the whole world is watching. Even trapped in a jail cell in Dodge City, Kansas, Belle has herself an audience. But the last person she expects to turn up at the jail, begging for her release, is her abusive husband, a man she left behind many miles (and several bodies) ago. He was her first kill, after all. But somehow, he's still breathing, and he's wound up right here in Dodge City, begging for her to be turned back over to him. Jeopardizing all her well-laid plans. Belle King has an arsenal of tricks up her sleeve, and these days, she always gets her way. But in the 1880s, nobody wants to believe a woman. Not even a legend like her, whoever she used to be.

Naomi, a geek and an underclassmen, has no reason to be caught up in all this... except that she does. Sassi might be primed for valedictorian, but she and Troy have a dirty history. And anyone would happily point fingers to perpetual senior Tatum, the not-quite-dropout rebel who can't ever seem to finish high school. These girls have nothing in common, except that they're each other's alibi when they find a body growing cold... ...
