Desert Cut: Lena Jones Mysteries

Autor Betty Webb
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 iun 2012
While searching for a location for a new documentary, Lena Jones and director Warren Quinn stumble across the body of a mutilated young girl. Lena is suddenly reminded of her own rough childhood. Her investigation into the girl's death leads her into the small town of Los Perdidos, an Edenic town still alive with the memory of Geronimo's war. Here the hard life on the Arizona/Mexico border contrasts with Hollywood's slick production meetings, and the revival of an ancient practice is tempered by a growing underground railroad fighting to save its young victims.

Recenzii

"Webb's dark tale of a clash of cultures is emotionally draining and intellectually challenging."--Kirkus Reviews
 "It is a compelling story that will appeal to a broad range of mystery readersηand may bring increased attention to a too-little-known series."  --Booklist starred review
"the longtime journalist manages to fuel her plot from the starkest of news stories without compromising the fast-paced action...a propulsive, thought-provoking read." Publisher's Weekly
"this Southwestern series has a depth that enhances the reader's pleasure"  -Library Journal
