Make Mother Proud, the second Adam Graham adventure, takes us into the mind of a cunning, diabolical serial killer. Adam, a local school superintendent, is drawn into police efforts to stop this killer. His background in education, intelligence and anger over the death of several young female teachers drives him in his efforts to find the psychopath responsible. A stunning tale of murder and romance, rich with the local color of the American Southwest, this is a story as mysterious, varied and opulent as the desert in which it is set.
