"When three women die of 'natural causes' in London and the West Country, there appears to
be no connection--or reason to suspect foul play. But Scotland Yard Superintendent Richard
Jury has other ideas, and before long he's following his keen police instincts all the way to
Santa Fe, New Mexico.
"There, in the company of a brooding thirteen-year-old girl and her pet coyote, he mingles with
an odd assortment of characters and tangles with a twisted plot that stretches from England
to the American Southwest. And while his good friend Melrose Plant pursues inquiries in
London, Jury delves deeper into the more baffling elements of the case, discovering firsthand
what the guide books don't tell you: that the Land of Enchantment is also a landscape ripe
with tragedy, treachery, and murder.
"'Rainbow's End is itself a literary rainbow. It's the skillful blend of mystery and comedy
and pathos, a Martha Grimes trademark, that makes this visit with Richard Jury and company
so memorable and satisfying.' --Mostly Murder." -- from the Amazon.com website |
