Synopsis

Screenwriter Harry Essex claims there are “A thousand ways the desert can kill.” According to Auntie Agnes, a local tribal elder, an elusive killer is working hard to make it a thousand and one.

Louie Jacobs, a minor tried as an adult, was convicted of murdering Sacramento Lugo—his best friend and Auntie Agnes’ nephew. There’s plenty of evidence that points to Louie, and Louie supposedly confessed. Sacramento’s aunt is adamant that Louis didn’t do it.

After reviewing Louie Jacob’s case, Jessica agrees to try to get it reopened. She and her “Cat Pack” friends are soon caught up in another tricky whodunnit when they discover the main suspect is an illusory figure—the Cleaner Man. Does such a man even exist, or is he a creature of spirit and imagination? Who else has a reason to want Louie behind bars or dead?

WOW!! This book is three mysteries in one. All three are interconnected and related to the death of Sacramento Lugo but are distinctly individual mysteries. I think this is the most complex of the entire series. There were plenty of twists and turns to hold my attention and keep me guessing from beginning to end. Jessica and the Cat Pack are once again on the trail of 'la cream de la crud' in the desert cities of southern California. They solve the mysteries as only this unique group of characters can.

WOW!! This book is three mysteries in one. All three are interconnected and related to the death of Sacramento Lugo but are distinctly individual mysteries. I think this is the most complex of the entire series. There were plenty of twists and turns to hold my attention and keep me guessing from beginning to end. Jessica and the Cat Pack are once again on the trail of 'la cream de la crud' in the desert cities of southern California. They solve the mysteries as only this unique group of characters can. The Cat Pack is expanding with the addition of several new members who bring their own unique skills and perspectives to help solve the crimes. I'm already looking forward to the next book in the series. If you like well thought out mysteries with likable characters and a dash of humor, I urge you to read the Jessica Huntington Desert Cities Mysteries.
