Darkness On The Edge Of Town “A SUPERB DEBUT…COMPELLING AND CRISP. THE CHARACTERS WILL HAUNT YOUR THOUGHTS. Welcome to a strong new voice in American crime fiction.” —T. Jefferson Parker, author of California Girl It’s always darkest… Bisbee, Arizona. A family community that attracts a healthy trade in tourism. Like many small towns, it has its fair share of petty thefts and domestic disturbances. But no one is prepared for the discovery of a teenage girl’s dead body propped up inside the park band shell, clothed in a doll-like dress. …right before dawn. Arizona Department of Public Safety investigator Laura Cardinal knows immediately what she is up against: a cunning sexual predator. But why is she being plagued by memories of the abduction of a schoolmate some eighteen years earlier? In a runaway case that propels her from a lavish Tucson estate to the secretive heart of a sleepy Florida town, Laura must confront the ghosts of her own past—even as another child goes missing and she must race against the clock to find her…. "A well-crafted, suspenseful police procedural, rich in characters, plot, and setting. J. Carson Black gets it right and mystery fans couldn't ask for more."
