As The Desert Blooms

By Kyle Smith

"In the desert, grief takes root.
And what blooms cannot be buried."

A man's body, torn apart, lies in front of his Tucson home. Detectives rush to find the killer, but their own failures, ambitions, and politics threaten the case more than the crime itself. This murder will not just test the department. It will change Tucson forever.

A haunting blend of crime fiction and literary noir, set against the stark heat of Tucson. Perfect for readers of Dennis Lehane, Don Winslow, and Cormac McCarthy.
