Mystery
n the summer of 1938, as war clouds loom overseas, auto
racers from around the world gather at the Bonneville Salt
Flats west of Salt Lake City, intent on breaking the
land-speed record. But when Clive Underhill, a wealthy
English motorist, mysteriously disappears and his younger
brother, Nigel, is found dead, Art Oveson of the Salt Lake
City Missing Persons Bureau is called to investigate. Suddenly, Art’s best friend and former partner, Roscoe Lund,
becomes the number-one suspect in Nigel’s murder, prompting
Art to follow a murky trail involving homegrown fascists,
bigoted ex-cops, a string of homicides, and a German auto
racer with a mysterious past. And, through it all, FBI Agent
Frank Oveson tries to prevent his “kid brother” Art from
discovering dark truths that may threaten his life. Tony Hillerman Prize–winning author and historian Andrew
Hunt transports us to 1930s Salt Lake City in Desolation
Flats, this engrossing, detailed mystery that shows what
goes on behind the scenes in the supposedly clean-cut Mormon
capital.
