About this listen

When a young drifter is found murdered in the desert outside of Palm Springs, the police start their investigation - but it's crime reporter Sam Perry who gets to the bottom of the story. Working her way backward to piece together the victim's mysterious life, Sam gets drawn into the seedier side of the glamorous resort town, a world of strip clubs, blackmail, and betrayal. All suspicions point toward former A-list actress and now mayoral candidate Ellen Konrad, a woman that Sam can't quite figure out but is deeply intrigued by. As their mutual attraction grows, the clues begin to add up, and the list of people with secrets and a motive to kill multiplies. When she finally untangles the shocking story behind the drifter's death, the revelations put Sam and those closest to her in grave danger.

K. A. Tracy has penned a superb series debut, introducing a hard-nosed crime reporter that is perfect for fans of Michael Connelly and Liza Marklund.

Holy wow, that's about as complicated as solving a Rubik's cube on acid. Still, quite brilliant.

Really very, very good. But my brain is bleeding.

A great book, rich in detail, intriguing and a thoroughly enjoyable in its entirety. Full of interesting characters and well timed humour is appreciated.
Not a wasted word, which is rare, I admit to skimming books that don't deliver.
Not usually interested in murder mysteries as a genre, but this was offered under romance so I took a chance, so glad I did. Highly recommendable.
If a follow up book is written I hope the central characters remain, it's been great getting to know them.

Well written intriguing thriller\romance
