Man missing

Description:

Murders on Navy base in Nevada desert. Author flexes her literary prowess, managing to cast suspicion on almost every character. Enough red herrings to feed the whole crew. Loats of tension (the base is a powder keg, literally and figuratively) and cover-to-cover action. Our detective, red-headed R. N. Sarah Keate.
