وصف الكتاب | A great recommendation for fans of J.A. Jance's Arizona-set mysteriesBooklist A murder leads Sarah Burke to investigate a money-laundering ring with connections extending far beyond Tucson - but does the key to solving the case lie closer to home than she realises? The murder of a man seen fighting in a house during a Fourth of July street parade plunges Sarah Burke's whole household - her fragile mother Aggie, shrewd and ever-helpful live-in boyfriend Will and even her hard-charging niece, Denny - into her latest case. The investigation leads to a money-laundering ring with international connections, and Sarah and her smart, hard-working crew of detectives must follow the puzzle, set against the backdrop of Tucson's unique character - an ancient, beautiful valley with a polyglot ethnic community and a bilingual, modern city - without knowing where it might take them. Could the answers lie closer to home than she realises? |
عن المؤلف | A one-time innkeeper with a taste for adventure, Elizabeth has been a private pilot, sky diver, SCUBA diver, and liveaboard sailor. Extensive travel in the US, Canada, Mexico and Europe led to a second career as a free-lance travel writer, during which she began writing a series of police procedural mysteries set in southeast Minnesota, where she grew up. Her books contrast the sometimes gritty routine of police work with the idyllic rural scenes around a mid-size city in the upper midwest. Featured characters are a hard-working police detective named Jake Hines and his girlfriend, Trudy Hanson, a forensic scientist at the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension in St. Paul. |
