Season of Guilt

About the Book

Season of Guilt is a story about hot days and no rain, an increasingly frustrating case of murder, and the transformation of a woman with a fresh sense of herself and her possibilities into a woman who dares to realize those possibilities. Drought, a case of murder, and the yearnings of the flesh, those three interweaving. And in the end, the concluding of each in the satisfaction of a shared denouement. It should be noted that this book follows Design of Darkness and Crystal Palace in a sequence that features many of the same characters, in particular private investigators Merrill “Hock” Hocken and Deirdre Cash.
