Publisher Description

Traumatized by a recent life-or-death investigation, Sharon McCone flees to her ranch in California’s high desert country to contemplate her future. Deep depression shadows her days and nights, and a chance encounter with a troubled, highly secretive Native American woman begins to haunt her dreams. Even though she is determined not to investigate anything during her stay, McCone is drawn into the plight of the young woman and her dysfunctional family. A murder and traces of violence at a deserted resort lead her across the desert and into Nevada, and finally to a remote and isolated ranch, where danger lies closer than she expects...

"This book was recommended to me by a friend of mine, and I'm glad he turned me onto it. Bartimaeus is wonderfully snarky, and his wry outlook and sardonic running commentary add pure fun to the narrative. A wickedly, wonderfully, witty read for all ages."

— Todd (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Muller’s series launched the modern hard-boiled female detective, and it has been setting a gold standard for the subgenre for more than thirty years. Fortunately, the end isn’t in sight quite yet.”

    — Booklist (starred review)
  • “Laura Hicks gives us the strong narration we need to believe in the power of detective Sharon McCone…The story has a large cast of characters, but Hicks shows a gift for differentiating and insightfully presenting each one in a series of vignettes that add to this high-speed adventure.”

  • “A crisply-woven plot”

    " If you think THIS book is great (like bacon) read the rest of the trilogy. The second book is twice as good as this one, and the third one is twice as good as the second one. :) "

    " When Raz was in junior high, he and I read the Bartimaeus trilogy together. I enjoyed it, especially reading together. There is a fake Bartimaeus movie trailer available on YouTube that uses footage from Pan's Labyrinth - quite humorous. "

    " My mom kept telling me to read this one, but I couldn't get into it. It took me 3 really solid tries over the course of 2 years. But I finally read it. AND I LOVED IT. Don't be a ninny like me. Read it the first time. "

    " I feel bad saying that I found the voice dull and the story about the same. I did appreciate Sharon finally getting acquainted with the horse but the rest of the story I just couldn't get into. "

    " The title is apt because detective Sharon McCone, whose life and adventures I've been following sporadically for decades, is burned out and the Muller's writing shows it. Perhaps it is time to hang up the saddle, ground the airplane, close up the agency, and call it a career. "

    " This is one of the Sharon McCone series. She's a private eye who's thinking of getting out of the business till her and her husband's hired hand discovers that his niece is missing. Then there a couple of murders to be solved as well. It's a good story. "
