A Climate for Killing
1991, English. Directed by J.S. Cardone.
Under a spell of passion, a desert town hides its brutal past.
A body is found in the desert shortly before Yuma County's rodeo festival week. It appears to be Ria Paris, who was apparenlty murdered by her husband 16 years ago - except the body isn't that old. Together with his ambitious new colleague Paul McCraw, Sheriff Kyle re-investigates the old case, trying to avoid shaking up the community during the celebrations.
