This is the second 'Sarah Burke' mystery from the creator of Jake Hines. Tucson Police detective Sarah Burke and the rest of her feisty, inventive crew are called in to investigate a horrific double murder in a high-dollar neighbourhood. The tragic destiny of a rich and troubled family unfolds against the backdrop of the imploding construction industry and the politics of downtown reconstruction. Meanwhile Sarah's household bulges at the seams, as her niece, her mother and her boyfriend - vivid personalities all - search for accommodation in her small spaces and crowded schedule, and her sister, as usual, does nothing to make things easier...
Elizabeth Gunn is the author of the 'Jake Hines' series of police procedurals set in Minnesota, where she grew up. A long-time innkeeper with a taste for adventure, Elizabeth has lived 'everywhere', been a private pilot and a diver, as well as a writer. She now lives in Tucson, Arizona, and climbs mountains for fun. Cool in Tucson is the first in a new series featuring Detective Sarah Burke.
