AN ADDICTIVE DETECTIVE MYSTERY FROM ONE OF THE MOST BELOVED AUTHORS IN CRIME.
Please note this book was previously published as Denny’s Law.
Fourth of July, Tucson, Arizona.
With the drummers and clowns and mariachi band no one heard the fight.
No one saw the man thrown into the window, his blood running down the cracked glass.
Detective Sarah Burke arrives on the scene to find an old man beaten to death. The attacker must have used a club of some kind. Fists alone could not do that much damage.
The victim has no phone, no Medicare card. His neighbors don’t even know his name.
Why would someone do this to a lonely old man?
As the evidence mounts up, Sarah starts to fear that the answers might lie disturbingly close to home . . .
An absolutely compelling detective mystery perfect for fans of Lisa Regan, Gregg Olsen, Rita Herron, Sara Paretsky, 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’.
