About the Book

Things are never easy for Scottsdale private eye Lena Jones. Her partner in Desert Investigations, Jimmy Sisiwan, is leaving for a moneyed wife and a job at Southwest Microsystems, and her old captain at the Scottsdale Police Department is off to his home in Brooklyn. Meanwhile, she's doing security for Warren Quinn, director of a documentary film about the American World War II camp for German POWs at Arizona's Papago Park, from which some prisoners once escaped. One surviving escapee, Käpitan zur See Erik Ernst, a man now in his nineties and confined to a wheelchair after a boating accident, has just been murdered. What's more, the man's Ethiopian caregiver begs Lena to clear him as a suspect in the murder. Lena, experienced in probing the past for answers to the central mystery of her own life--who is she?--learns that after their daring Christmas Eve escape Ernst and two other POWs had hid out in Arizona's rugged Superstition Mountains. Nearby on Christmas night, a farm family, the Bollingers, had been slaughtered. A jury didn't convict the only survivor, the teenage son, despite some suggestive evidence. What might Chess Bollinger know about Ernst--and vice versa? And how much can Lena trust filmmaker Warren Quinn, either as a client, a witness, or a lover? In this complex, stunning case based on real Arizona history, Betty Webb spins another evocative, haunting story in her Lena Jones mystery series.

Review :
"A complex, stunning case based on real Arizona history, journalist Betty Webb, author of Desert Noir, Desert Wives, and Desert Run, spins an evocative, haunting story." -- "Library Journal" "At the start of Webb's multifaceted, fast-paced fourth Lena Jones mystery, the scrappy workaholic PI is supervising security for filmmaker Warren Quinn, who's shooting a documentary about the escape of German POWs from a prison camp in Scottsdale, Arizona, in 1944...Webb combines evocative descriptions of place with fine historical research in a plot packed with twists." -- "Publishers Weekly" "This thought-provoking novel is a gem. It is a perfect chance to make the acquaintance of an author poised on the national consciousness of mystery fans." -- "Denver Post" "Webb bases her latest Lena Jones adventure on a real episode in Arizona history...As in the preceding episodes in the series, Webb effectively evokes the beauty of the Arizona desert." -- "Booklist"
