No one in tiny Wagon Mound, New Mexico heard a thing on the day of the Bean Day festival, but one of the biggest bank heists in state history happened right under their noses. The crime has never been solved. This much is true. When international bestselling author Susan Slater puts facts and imagination together, she comes up with a dynamic mystery novel based on this unsolved bank heist. Insurance investigator Dan Mahoney is sent to find out what happened and whether his company will have to cover the loss of a spectacular heirloom sapphire and diamond necklace, insured for half a million dollars. On the way to Wagon Mound, his vehicle quits, and he hitches a ride with a man in an old pickup truck. The truck rolls and the driver is killed. Then things truly become convoluted and one thing leads to another—the bank manager is murdered, secretive experiments are going on at ranch just outside town, and evidence pertaining to the bank heist proves difficult to come by. And Dan’s only clue is a note shoved under his door saying, “It’s not what you think.” “Slater’s excellent sequel to Flash Flood takes insurance investigator Dan Mahoney to tiny Wagon Mound, New Mexico … Readers will be glad they’re along for the ride.”— Publishers Weekly (starred review)Praise for Susan Slater’s Dan Mahoney series:“Flash Flood is just what it sounds like—a fresh, surprising, adrenaline-rush whitewater ride. It’s also funny. Susan Slater can flat-out write.” —Don Winslow, New York Times bestselling author “There’ll be much, much more, with whispers of everything from alien experiments to voodoo, before Slater closes out this lively, surprising case, first of a series.” – Kirkus Reviews“Dan Mahoney is an appealingly resilient character, a welcome addition to the roster of sleuths that make the Southwest a hotbed of current mystery fiction.” —Publishers Weekly

Paperback. Etat : Good. A bank heist turns sleepy little Wagon Mound, New Mexico, on its ear. It's no straightforward, demand all the money at gun-point and hustle out the front door kind of robbery. It's a sneaky tunneling that probably took months to complete and landed the thieves in a room of safe deposit boxes--not the vault with two million bucks for a ranch sale next door. Was this some mistake, or was the thieves' target the Tiffany-designed sapphire and diamond necklace belonging to eighty-five-year-old Gertrude Kennedy, a family heirloom from the days of the Titanic? The necklace is insured with United Life and Casualty for half a million. The company sends their ace investigator, Dan Mahoney, a Chicagoan still in New Mexico recuperating from events in Flash Flood, and romancing the intrepid Elaine Linden, to the scene of the crime. Delayed when his Jeep overheats, Dan catches a ride and is the hapless passenger in a rollover that kills the driver and lands Dan in Santa Fe's hospital. Dan soon learns the rollover was no accident. Someone wants him kept out of Wagon Mound at any cost. Dan hasn't lived his life looking over his shoulder and he's not starting now. But when Elaine disappears and people close to the case, like the bank's manager, turn up dead, he suspects there's more going on than a robbery. The note slipped under his rented room's door in the dead of night says it all--it's not what you think. Fast-paced from first to last, Rollover combines the murder mystery with the caper for a captivating read. N° de réf. du vendeur 00044208122
