"An intriguing contemporary mystery that exposes the dark
side of life in historic Santa Fe by Hillerman Prize-winner
Christine Barber Christine Barber's acclaimed mysteries
explore not just the folklore, Indian heritage, and colonial
history that draws people to Santa Fe each year, but also
the lives of locals, from the rich retirees to the families
that have lived there for generations. These mysteries take
place in a modern city that still has strong, unforgettable
connections to its history. In her new novel, When the Devil
Doesn't Show, a housefire leads to the discovery of not just
the bodies of the homeowners, but also a third, unidentified
corpse. The search for the man's identity will lead
Detective Gil Montoya not too far from Santa Fe to one of
its notorious but rarely discussed neighbors, the Los Alamos
National Laboratory. A DNA test reveals that the unknown
victim is a native of Northern New Mexico, but Montoya has
reason to believe that his ties to the infamous nuclear
testing facility hold the solution. And when a second
housefire is found to contain more bodies, he's determined
to find out the answer no matter the cost. "The insights
that Barber, an Albuquerque resident, offers heighten the
pleasure of reading her mysteries and give a fresh take on
why Santa Fe is called the City Different." --The
Albuquerque Journal "--
