Since first joining forces in Punctured, Alice James and Jim Snow
have been a great—if odd—crime-fighting team. He’s a forty-something former Las
Vegas homicide detective who quit the force to become a full-time poker player.
She’s a model-turned-cocktail waitress whose foray into casino security led her
into law enforcement. Together they are the James & James Detective Agency,
and their newest case is a doozy. Jack Roberts comes to them for help solving
the brutal murder of his daughter Laura, a cocktail waitress whose body was
found burning in the Nevada desert. Among the suspects: an obsessive
ex-boyfriend, a mentally unbalanced construction worker, a temperamental
roommate, a shady fiancé…perhaps even the client himself! Alice knows that if
they can crack this case, business will come pouring in. But first she will have
to manage Snow’s ill-timed midlife crisis and deal with the chemistry crackling
between them. Ashes to Dust is pure entertainment, sure to please even
the most hardboiled of mystery fans.
