Women's Fiction
Set against the backdrop of the brooding and sensual
canyon, a young woman's heart awakens and a decades-old
mystery is solved
When Jane Merkle arrives in
the tiny town of Flagstaff, Arizona, with her much older
husband on a summer day in 1951, she hasn't any idea that
her life is about to change forever. After all, one of
Jane's favorite sayings is "When in Rome, remember that
you're from St. Louis." But over a summer spent with her
sister-in-law, Dotty, and Dotty's lepidopterist husband,
Oliver, in a village perched on the rim of the Grand Canyon,
Jane discovers her latent ability with a butterfly net and
her attraction to a handsome young ranger. Meanwhile, an unidentified skeleton is found on the premises
of one of the village's most cantankerous citizens. With the
help-and hindrance-of a colorful cast of historical
characters, including an eccentric botanist who moonlights
as an amateur sleuth, the murder mystery that has haunted
the town for years is solved.
In her latest novel,
set in the quintessential landscape of the Southwest,
Margaret Erhart weaves history, science, and an intimate
knowledge of the human heart to tell a fast-paced tale.
