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 . . .

The Contest

Jeff Macfee

Once a child prodigy of puzzles and logic games, Gillian Charles now barely ekes out a living in Los Angeles. With her sick mother facing eviction from her care facility, Gillian can’t say no when her childhood nemesis, Tommy, shows up at her apartment with a $50k offer. All she has to do is return to the place where it all started, where she swore she’d never set foot again: Miscellany.
Miscellany is a place of wonder and enchantment—a Disney World for puzzle lovers, and one that quickly owns the lives of those who stay too long. Tommy is running the park’s latest big game, and he’s convinced someone is leaking the answers. With investment and expansion in the cards, Miscellany can’t afford a scandal. As a former puzzler who kept her distance from Miscellany for twenty years, Gillian should find it easy to investigate while avoiding Miscellany’s charms and entanglements.
But when Gillian arrives, she discovers things aren’t so straightforward. Her turncoat ex-friend Martin Ellsberg holds the security reins, Tommy’s estranged wife Evelina spins PR webs around the park’s machinations, and the manipulative park founder Sebastian offers her the financial security and intellectual future she always wanted. With her mother’s circumstances growing more dire, and under pressure to sweep the accusations under the rug, Gillian finds childhood games all the more treacherous for adults.
Miscellany is offering Gillian the life she always wanted. But at what price?
