Bøger i Frankie Macfarlane Mysteries serien

The first of the Frankie MacFarlane Series, Death Assemblage is a multilayered mystery nestled in the mountains of Nevada -- just west of Pair-a-Dice.The mountains hold mysteries -- geological, historical, and personal. Geologist Frankie MacFarlane has mapped the rocks of the range for the past three summers. In the final week of her dissertation fieldwork, she searches for an elusive final key to her research: a limestone marker bed -- a death assemblage -- hidden by dangerous, shifting talus. But as Frankie strives to piece together her geologic jigsaw puzzle, she is embroiled in a web of ancient and recent murders, a manhunt, kidnappings, and blackmail.

Southeastern Arizona is a tinderbox. Down Under Copper's plans to explore for minerals pit landowners, worried about their water supply and land values, against those hoping to profit from the mining venture. Someone snaps.

Frankie suspects that a serial killer may be on the loose, a man who is so good at assuming new identities that he almost resembles the shape-changers of Native American myth. When Frankie is asked to join a expedition into the Mojave desert, she jumps at the chance to get away from the mayhem, but trouble follows her, with near-fatal results.
