Judgment Fire
Tempe Crabtree is the resident deputy of Bear Creek, a small mountain community in the southern Sierra. Her continuing interest in the spiritual side of her heritage often causes unrest in her marriage to her minister husband.
In Judgment Fire, a battered wife is murdered and Tempe is given a warning by a shaman. She participates in a starlight ceremony, and repressed memories of her own painful high school days help her find the killer.
A shaman warns Deputy Tempe Crabtree her life is in danger. The death of a battered wife leads Tempe to participate in a Native American starlight ceremony that brings back hidden memories of her painful high school days. She attempts to help the delinquent son of the murdered woman, is threatened by his step-father--the primary murder suspect, deals with a man who may be mentally ill, and renews acquaintances with not such good friends from her younger years. A second fire brings judgment to the guilty party.

Reviews
"10 out of 10! ...Tempe Crabtree is a wonderful character. Her husband is a minister and is just beginning to believe that his beliefs and those of the Native Americans are not too far apart. Tempe's son Blair wants to be a fireman and gets a little experience in Judgment Fire. I've enjoyed the Tempe Crabtree books which are set in Bear Creek, a small mountain community in the southern Sierra. The characters seem real and the location is great." —Pat Reid, Best Seller World.
After a battered wife is murdered, Deputy Tempe Crabtree is determined to find out who did it. Though there is an obvious suspect, she is not convinced of his guilt, and the fact that she is receiving threats only deepens her conviction. Now, memories of painful times in high school, times she shared with the victim, are haunting the deputy. Her quest for answers takes her into spiritual realms, proving that not all cases are solved using CSI techniques. But, finding the solution could bring deadly problems. Tempe Crabtree continues to add an intriguing and unusual take on how to solve mysteries, making the unseen aspects of a case as important, if not more than, the physical. Ms. Meredith never lets her fans down. —Amanda Killgore, Huntress Reviews
