Synopsis

Geologist Em Hansen digs into greed, deception, murder...and other natural disasters.

Looking to distract herself from the grief she feels over her father's recent death, geologist Em Hansen agrees to investigate the rocky murder of fellow geologist Janet Pinchon.Asked to step in by Janet's father, a powerful senator, Em travels to Northern California where Janet's body was found in a roadside ditch.

Soon hired by the environmental firm where Janet worked, Em steps into her life to find some answers. But shadowed by the darkness of her own past, Em must face more than shady politicians, greedy land developers, and an endangered ecosystem. This spunky geologist must grapple with her deepest fears to survive an assault be a vengeful Mother Nature...and a killer with a hear of stone.

About this title

Review:

The unfashionable, but fascinating area of Santa Rosa, California, is the setting for Sarah Andrews's third book about oil geologist Em Hansen, who finds more dead bodies than oil. Hansen comes to this flat basin of industry, agriculture, and occasional floods to probe the death of a young woman--daughter of a U.S. Senator--who seems to have turned over one too many rocks in her work as an environmental consultant. As in her two previous books about Em (Tensleep and A Fall in Denver), Andrews maintains a laudable balance between her main character's personal life and her down-and-dirty working life.

About the Author:

Sarah Andrews, herself a professional geologist, is the author of two previous Em Hansen mysteries, A Fall in Denver and Tensleep. She now writes full-time and lives in Northern California.
