“An entertaining outing” in the series featuring a tough San Francisco stuntwoman by an Anthony Award-winning author (Booklist).
Stunt double Darcy Lott is on location at the Port of Oakland, positioned for a power slide—a dangerous trick in which she falls off a bike and skids under an eighteen-wheeler. But things go awry when her stunt driver—and on-again, off-again boyfriend—Damon has a truck malfunction and Darcy is injured. Now tensions between them are higher than ever, and Darcy is already stressed by pressure from her siblings to search for Mike, their missing brother.
When Guthrie observes that the shipping containers headed for Asia would be a good place to hide out or stash a body, Darcy thinks with horror of Mike. Is this where her brother could be? Darcy’s usual connections in the police department are suddenly shutting her out, so she’s on her own in a desperate quest to find a link between the port and her brother. The hunt will lead her to the canyons of Los Angeles, a ranch hidden in the desert, and ultimately to a horrifying discovery in San Francisco . . .
Now Darcy has a murder to solve along with a missing persons case, in this suspenseful mystery by an Anthony and Macavity Award winner.
