Book Overview

A bank heist turns sleepy little Wagon Mound, New Mexico, on its ear. It s no straight-forward, demand all the money at gun-point and hustle out the front door kind of robbery. It s a sneaky tunneling that probably took months to complete and landed the thieves in a room of safe deposit boxes not the vault with two million bucks for a ranch sale next door. Was this some mistake, or was the thieves target the Tiffany-designed sapphire and diamond necklace belonging to eighty-five year old Gertrude Kennedy, a family heirloom from the days of the Titanic? The necklace is insured with United Life and Casualty for half a million. The company sends their ace investigator, Dan Mahoney, a Chicagoan still in New Mexico recuperating from events in Flash Food, and romancing the intrepid Elaine Linden, to the scene of the crime. Delayed when his Jeep overheats, Dan catches a ride and is the hapless passenger in a rollover that kills the driver and lands Dan in Santa Fe s hospital. Dan soon learns the rollover was no accident. Someone wants him kept out of Wagon Mound at any cost. Dan hasn t lived his life looking over his shoulder and he s not starting now. But when Elaine disappears and people close to the case, like the bank s manager, turn up dead, he suspects there s more going on than a robbery. The note slipped under his rented room s door in the dead of night says it all it s not what you think ." Fast-paced from first to last, Rollover combines the murder mystery with the caper for a captivating read."
