"Ideal for cozy mystery aficionados craving a thrilling escape into the heart of the Southwest." -NewInBooks
Who knew a murder or two would turn Jake Stewart’s life around?
Jake was trying to figure out his life after being abruptly downsized from what he considered the best job in the world — being a reporter in a fast moving, big city newsroom. Now, he was wandering the Southwest in the Beast, an aging RV that was his only home in the world. No job, no prospects, no love.
Then in the fading moments of a brilliant sunset in the Mesa country of Arizona, he hears cries for help, and stumbles across a half-dressed woman standing over a partially buried body among the red rocks. And everything changes.
Using his skills as a reporter and spurred on by an unexpected romance, Jake follows the clues … but as he gets closer to the killer, the killer may be getting closer to him… and his new sweetie.
If you like lovable but oddball characters in a colorful setting, red herrings, an intriguing plot, fast-paced writing, then you’ll love this laugh-out-loud Jake Stewart mystery.
