Mystery Private Eye
Ferociously ambitious U.S. Senatorial candidate Juliana
Thorsson has been keeping a secret. The horrific slaughter
of a prominent doctor, his wife, and their ten-year-old son
inside their Scottsdale home brings Thorsson to Private
Investigator Lena Jones. The slain family’s 14-year-old,
Alison, and her boyfriend, Kyle, have confessed to the murders. Thorsson wants to hire Lena to discover if Alison is telling
the truth, but before accepting the job, Lena demands to
know why a rising political star wants to involve herself
with the fate of a girl she’s never met. Desperate for
Lena’s help, Thorsson reveals her explosive secret—that Ali
son is the candidate’s biological daughter, a fact she’s
kept hidden for years. But that’s not all. Thorsson then confides something even
more unusual than a mere hidden pregnancy, something that
could ruin her political plans forever. Suspecting that
Alison’s parents had secrets of their own that could have
led to the murders, Lena finally accepts Thorsson’s assignment. But interviewing those who knew the family well soon puts
Lena—now a strong defender of the two teens—in danger of her
life. Fast-paced, probing, and ¬ filled with the trademark
twists of the Lena Jones series, Desert Rage once again
shows that Betty Webb is unsparing of her characters yet
writes their stories with wit and compassion.
