Author and newspaper columnist Steve Brewer grew up in Arkansas, but called New Mexico home for nearly two decades before moving in 2003 to Redding, California. He spent twenty-two years in the newspaper business and still writes a weekly humor column for The Albuquerque Tribune. The column, "The Home Front," is distributed to hundreds of newspapers nationwide by Scripps-Howard News Service. Brewer is a board member of Mystery Writers of America. He lives in Redding, California with his wife, two sons, and a dog named Elvis. information.
The seventh Bubba Mabry mystery begins with a bang: Albuquerque PI Bubba is enjoying a chat with a potential client when a guy in an ape suit walks into the cafe and pulls out a gun; suddenly, Bubba has blood all over him (not his, but still . . .). Soon he's juggling a grieving fiancee, a snoopy reporter (who also happens to be Bubba's wife), a hypereager intern (named, appropriately enough, Keen), and a suspiciously high death rate at the local zoo. This series offers a nice mix of low-rent comedy, solid action, and general amiability. David Pitt
