Claire Murphy returns home a wealthy widow. Her good looks and her bank balance draw the attention of the town's single men. Sheriff Winston Walker befriends her and for years meets her at the end of each day on her porch for a short chat.

She is drawn into the case. The victim worked at Claire's dress shop. Coincidence? Maybe. Then the shop is robbed and the man Claire pegged as the killer becomes the second victim. He was a deputy, was married, but having an affair with the unfortunate clerk. Claire is forced to rethink the identity of the murderer. The wife is the obvious choice except Claire's intuition has Win's other deputy guilty. The man scowls at her. Her red hair and Irish heritage heat her temper.
