Synopsis
WHO WOULD MURDER A MAN WITH AIDS?
Denver antiques dealer Jason Lynx has a deep interest in answering that question. For the victim was Ron Willis, brother of policewoman Grace Willis, the woman Jason hopes to marry.
There's not much to go on: only Ron's address book and his desperate search for cash the night before his death. Of course there is also the mysterious skeleton that rescue workers find near Ron's body--surprisingly on property belonging to the Credable family, a Denver dynasty built on violence and greed. These days the Credables are the soul of upper-class respectability. Or so it seems.
Goaded by Grace's irrational response to the tragedy, Jason inches toward the truth--about a killer, himself, and the woman he loves....
"Orde writes with a firm, precise voice and Lynx is a well-drawn and likable character."
--San Antonio Express News

From the Publisher
Murder is murder, and there are only so many ways that the villain in a mystery can do in the victim to get the story rolling. Or so I thought, until Sharyn McCrumb (and now A.J. Orde) topped the heap, at least in my book, for originality. In A LONG TIME DEAD the villain not only decides to murder a man who is dying of AIDS -- coals to Newcastle, I would have thought -- but takes him and an outhouse out with a load of dynamite. For sheer novelty, that method does stand out, but fortunately what you'll also find is a well-written and well-paced mystery.
A.J. Orde is a prolific writer, incidentally. Under her own name, Sheri S. Tepper, she writes a popular science fiction series, while, as B.J. Oliphant, she writes the Shirley McClintock mystery series. If you've read any of the McClintock mysteries, you're in for a surprise here. Her (A. J. Orde) sleuth, Denver interior designer and antiques dealer Jason Lynx, is as smooth as Shirley is crusty, but they're equally likable people. A bonus of the Jason Lynx mysteries is the antiques lore you'll pick up along the way.
