Book Description
"Victim or perpetrator? That's what New Mexico's favorite public relations maven, Sasha Solomon, can't figure out about her niece Gabi. The daughter of Sash's overbearing sister Eva, Gabi is a grad student at Socorro's New Mexico Tech, where she's been working on a new kind of explosive device-and conducting a potentially explosive affair. Sasha's in town to help boost area tourism, and looks forward to spending time with the young woman. She never imagined it would be in the hospital, where Gabi lands after someone rigs her mailbox with a nasty surprise. Jewish with an Iranian surname, Gabi could be the victim of a hate-crime. But as details emerge about her work and personal relationships, people begin to view her less as a victim than as a threat-possibly even a terrorist. Meanwhile, Sasha learns that the family of her client, town patriarch Papi Sanchez, is riddled with secrets and scandal. Already juggling her demanding job and sniffing out clues, Sasha is stretched to the limit when her contentious sibling's kin and mother get on board. Sasha struggles to hold her family together and protect her niece, but despite her considerable PR skills, the conflicts within both families extract a heavy toll."--Jacket.

Book Description
Sasha Solomon is having a bad day. Fired from her job as PR director at an Albuquerque HMO, she is dealing with an ailing mother and trying to figure out the origins of hallucinations that include conversations with her cat. Sasha heads for Clovis, a small town in southeastern New Mexico, where she'll bid on a project for the Chamber of Commerce. While there, she will check in with her widowed friend Mae King. Mae, a local dairy farmer, is clearly out of sorts and shows Sasha the reason. There's a body in one of her stock tanks--a Singaporean aviator stationed at Cannon Air Force Base. Who killed him and why? What was he doing on Mae's land? Why won't she go to the police? Sasha must clear her friend's name, find the murderer, and land the PR job with the Chamber of Commerce within a week. But there are other forces at work who will stop at nothing to keep her from the truth. Sasha soon discovers that there's a lot more to Clovis than a dot on a map. "A ripping debut! Fresh and witty. Pari Noskin Taichert is a writer to watch."--Carol Luce, author ofNight StalkerandNight Prey "Hop in and hold tight! It's a wild ride with hard-nosed, soft-hearted Sasha Solomon. In Clovis, Sasha discovers shady characters, a hunky cop, and a passel of possible space aliens. . . . A beguiling new voice in mystery."--Deborah Donnelly, author ofMay the Best Man Die

Book Description
Physicist and civil engineer Dr. Richard St. James lives on the Mars Settlement and works for the Mars Administration. A failed relationship on the Moon propelled him to seek out a new beginning on the Red Planet. Now he must contend with the ever-changing face of science. But it is a new galaxy. Following the economic and political collapse of Earth's governments, powerful groups organize the Economic Zones to replace national boundaries. The Economic Council promulgates facts, forbids the teaching of history, philosophy, metaphysics, and spiritual faith, instead channeling their energy into fielding planetary colonies and space stations. A generation grows up that has never seen the sun from Earth, or experienced any culture other than the self-centered, hard-scrabble struggle to survive in the darkness of space. It is this very darkness that St. James must confront, especially when he meets the beautiful and exotic Socorro, a chemist recently transferred to the Mars Administration. Memories return to haunt him as he struggles to understand his place in this new world, one far removed from his humble Southern U.S. beginnings. A mysterious artifact found during an exploration propels Socorro and St. James into an uncertain future, one guaranteed to change their lives forever.
