Estelle patiently sorts through the clues from the bizarre school shower murder of a popular and successful volleyball coach. The background stories of art, family, music, and a universe level tourist attraction are realistic and quite compelling as a final confrontation places more people in imminent danger. ( ) As Come Dark: The Posadas County Mysteries by Steven F. Havill opens the massive astronomy theme park known as Nightzone is taking shape atop the mesa approximately 35 miles to the west of Posadas, New Mexico. The dish is up, the technicians are installing everything, and slowly all the details are being handled. Paying visitors are not on the grounds yet, but a media day to publicize the latest progress is just hours away so this little county in the along the Mexican border pretty busy. Not only is Nightzone coming right along, but the girls soccer team is on one heck of a win streak and has a championship in sight. Media is present to chronicle history as the team seems unbeatable right now. Way more media than normal means there are plenty of outsiders to contemplate the graffiti vandalism adorning one of the narrow gauge railway passenger cars that are to move folks up to the tramway location for the eventual ride to the mesa summit and Nightzone. Hiding the railcar away from prying eyes will be easy. Undersheriff Estelle Reyes Guzman and the other officers will figure out who did it and why. That case will have to wait as a couple more serious crimes have occurred in quick succession. One of which is the fact that the girls volleyball coach has been found dead on the shower floor in the girls locker room at the High School. Shot four times Coach Clint Scott is definitely dead and has been dead for quite some time it would appear. Though the time of death might be a bit hard to tell since his body was found partially covered by the cascading waters of the cold shower head thanks to the fact that his dead body blocked the shower drain. A murder, vandalism, a missing mother, and quite a lot more is going on in Come Dark by Steven F. Havill. This is one of those series where the primary and secondary characters actually age and evolve as time passes and the events of previous books impact current events and lives. This series has always been very good and nothing has changed with the latest installment. Come Dark: The Posadas County Mysteries from its distinctive cover to the last page is a complex police procedural style mystery and one heck of a read.

Mystery.
HTML: Posadas County, New Mexico, is in the news. NightZone, a mammoth astronomy theme park, is bringing in jobs, media, and such new infrastructure as a slick narrow-gauge railway to transport tourists from the village of Posadas to the tramway running up the mesa to the project's site. And the Posadas High School girls' volleyball team is on a hot winning streak, exciting everyone. But more news, not good, breaks. Volleyball Coach Clint Scott has been found gunned-down in the girls' shower room, the victim of four bullets, one fired nearly point blank into his heart. Dead for hours, killed soon after the end of last night's game. And, last night, a homegrown Banksy had tagged both one of the railway cars and a section of NightZone's giant radio telescope dish. Then, apparently, this young artist began work on a section of wall outside the girls' locker room at the high schoolâ??a project that was clearlyâ??dramaticallyâ??interrupted. With morning come two strange incidents. Stacie Willis Stewart, a former Posadas volleyball star, locks up her baby and Jack Russell terrier in her Volvo, walks away to local superstore The Spreeâ??and disappears. A former teacher spots the child and dog before the heat can kill them. Deputy Tom Pasquale, in The Spree's parking lot where he's spotted a suspicious Illinois plate on a Ford Fusion, watched it all. He then leads a fruitless search for her inside the store. No luckâ??but he does score a man with an Elvis haircut and his wife when they return to the Ford with stories that don't add up. The lead on the murder is Undersheriff Estelle Reyes-Guzman, who's still able to call on the retired former sheriff, Bill Gastnerâ??a good thing, for she is surprised by the arrival of her piano-prodigy son, Francisco, age 15, in a sleek Corvette driven some one thousand unchaperoned miles by an eighteen-year-old beauty, a cellist. Their goal: to join the one hundredth birthday celebration for Este Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
