Beschreibung

British sleuth Patrick Dawlish heads to the United States to find his missing wife in this Wild West crime thriller from the Edgar Award–winning author.   It’s been four weeks since Patrick Dawlish has heard from his wife Felicity, who’s on a trip across the United States to visit friends in Hollywood. The last place she was seen was in Arizona, where her tour guide was found at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Dawlish isn’t the only person looking for Felicity. Local authorities are, too, and suspect her of murder . . .   In an unfamiliar country of wide-open spaces, blazing hot sun, and hardened locals, Dawlish has his work cut out for him. But since no one knows his reputation as a brilliant detective and one-time Secret Service ace, he can fly under the radar. Never has a job been more truly his—and his alone. Pitted against a desolate land and desperate men, he’ll have to draw on every resource he possesses—physical and mental—to find the one woman he’s ever loved . . .

    An abandoned church in a village set in time—the ideal setting for murder. Detective Inspector Tremayne and his sergeant, Clare Yarwood, are hard pushed to solve the crime and to stay alive. 
     
     
     
    'Do you believe in spontaneous human combustion?' Detective Inspector Keith Tremayne asked. 
     
     
     
    'Not me. I've read about it. Who hasn't?' Sergeant Clare Yarwood answered. 
     
     
     
    'I haven't,' Tremayne replied which did not surprise his young sergeant. In the months they had been together, she had come to realize that he was a man who had little interest in the world. A cigarette in his mouth, a beer in his hand, and a murder to solve was about the happiest she ever saw him, and even then, he could hardly be regarded as one of life's most sociable. And as for reading? The occasional police report, an early morning newspaper, the back pages for the racing results. 
     
     
     
    Hardly the ideal attributes for a trip into the murky world of paganism and its rituals, but that's where they were heading and it was going to get dangerous, very dangerous.

    They say evil can take many forms . . . 
    I learned that first hand at the age of seventeen. My mother's third husband was the preacher . . . a man of the cloth who had a secret agenda within our small Southern community. 
    My name is Sunny Gardner. And Layton, Alabama is my home, or least it had been until the preacher came into our lives. A minister who preached the Word, but lived a lie. But the folks in this town had closed their eyes and ears to the truth once they fell under the preacher's spell. As it turned out, I'm the one they believed was evil. I'm the one who was shamed into leaving town. 
    This is my story. A story of struggle and triumph and, ultimately, a story of how I saved myself and my community from the devil himself.

But all their plans go out the window when a desperate plea from a Cuban transplant surgeon puts the duo in serious danger with the Cuban government on the same day the four most prominent immunologists in the world—doctors who were on the verge of solving the huge rejection issues that have plagued the transplant community for over fifty years—are killed in a car accident in Chicago.Soon, Sarah and Jackie find themselves dragged into the bowels of investigating venture capitalists and corporate greed—a terrain they know nothing about. As they uncover suspect clinical trials at major US transplant centers, including Sarah’s, their usual friends Biker Bob and Officer Handsome aren’t able to help them much, but they do receive assistance from an unlikely source: Sergio, who they helped to land in prison in Florida (and who is trying to win back his girlfriend), offers his help from the inside. Sarah and Jackie are armed with smarts, humor, and enough persistence to help them face the white-collared demons of corporate America—but with dangerous players gunning for them and death threats being made against their families, will they be able to solve this mystery before someone else gets hurt?
