At sixty-three years old, Maxie McNabb isn't sure that leaving everything behind for a life on the road is the best move. But once she begins cruising down the Alaska Highway in her Winnebago with her mini-dachshund, Stretch, at her side and the open road ahead she has no doubt she's done the right thing. However, before her exploration of the Lower Forty-eight gets under way, Maxie is called to the bedside of her old friend Sarah Nunamaker. Terminally ill, Sarah makes it clear she has a secret she needs to reveal to Maxie in person. But when Maxie arrives she finds her friend in hospital, barely conscious, and Sarah's home broken into. While the police have no leads, Maxie is convinced it has something to do with Sarah's delusionary ramblings. Now, as she seeks an answer to this puzzle, it becomes chillingly clear that Sarah's life isn't the only one on the line.
One of the best parts of zigzagging the country in her Winnebago is the possibility of endless adventure - and sixty-something-year-old Maxie McNabb is always up for trying new things. So, she and her canine companion, Stretch, head for the languorous heat of New Mexico, where Maxie plans to learn how to weave. But everything changes when a local woman attempts suicide. A casualty of her husband's midlife crisis, she has been replaced by a newer, sexier model. And to top it off, a sleazy conman has set his sights on her. Even though she's on vacation, Maxie is determined to help. With her nose for trouble, she'll leave no mesa unturned until she brings two dogs to justice - neither of which is trusty Stretch!
