⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The only female homicide detective in Tucson is likeable and believable." Kristen

AN ADDICTIVE THRILLER AND MYSTERY NOVEL FROM ONE OF THE MOST BELOVED AUTHORS IN CRIME.

Please note this book was previously published as New River Blues.

A horrific double murder in a high-dollar neighborhood. Detective Sarah Burke unravels the tragic destiny of a rich and troubled family.

Tucson police detective Sarah Burke is called out to a double homicide in a rich neighborhood. While the property developer husband is away on business, his party-loving wife winds up dead in their king-size bed along with her latest boy-toy. They were clearly shot at close range.

As the crime scene investigators get to work, the victim's teenage daughter sneaks into the house and is confronted by the horrifying scene.

Where's her father? Why isn't he answering his cell phone?

While Sarah is trying to get answers, she's dealing with a lot in her personal life. She's looking after her substance-abusing sister's daughter. Sarah wants to become the girl's legal guardian, but her sister's not playing ball. The man Sarah loves is definitely a keeper, yet her niece won't let down her guard around him. Sarah's mother is usually her rock, but now even she's cracking.

With the pressure on, can Sarah break the case, even though the prime suspect has a watertight alibi?

WHEN THE PEOPLE SHE LOVES ARE IN DANGER, SHE'LL STOP AT NOTHING TO PROTECT THEM.

The perfect detective mystery for fans of Lisa Regan, Gregg Olsen, Rita Herron, Sara Paretsky, Elmore Leonard, Sue Grafton, Marcia Muller, J.A. Jance, Mary Burton, Melinda Leigh, Kendra Elliott, Robert Dugoni and Isabella Maldonado.

MEET THE DETECTIVE
Seasoned thirty-five-year-old Sarah Burke replaced her youthful bloom with burnished fitness and a put-together look that said to her friends, 'Trust me, ' and to the bad guys, 'Don't even think about it.' Occasionally some fool thought about it anyway, and for those times she wears a Glock nine in a paddle holster on her belt. Thirteen years in the department had fixed her attitude - wary and seldom surprised. She had transferred into Homicide a little over a year ago because she was ready for bigger challenges. More ambitious than ever now that she's single again, Sarah wants to work with the best people, hone her skills, keep moving up.

THE SETTING
Tucson, Arizona, eighty miles from the Mexican border, is a city with ancient roots and a panoply of modern problems. Sprawled in a beautiful valley in the Southwest, Tucson struggles with border issues, shrinking water resources, and a booming drug trade, but its prosperity relies on the steady flow of tourists and retirees attracted to its wonderful weather, where, as the locals say, it's 'too hot to spit'.
