Sinopsis
In the crooked streets of the boomtown, the rule of law is powerless...
Police captain Delia Mariola is struggling to drive predatory drug dealers from the American rust belt town of Baxter, before the owners of the new Nissan plant lose faith in the project.
It doesn't help that the influx of male workers for the plant has also meant an influx of criminals. In the workers' settlement just outside the city limits, a modern Wild West boomtown is now thriving, drawing criminal gangs who promise drugs and female company to men far from home looking for comfort and distraction.
With no active policing in the unregulated settlement, the criminals are fighting it out to take control of the drug trade. It's against this chaotic backdrop that a young sex worker's body turns up on the streets of Baxter itself.
Delia investigates the murder relentlessly, determined to bring justice to the criminal enterprises plaguing her streets. But she's not the only one hunting...M.F

Reseñas Varias sobre este libro
Back to Boomtown we go for the third chapter in Captain Mariolas life. This time the mob is trying to take over Boomtown, resulting in murder and other mayhem.
Carter continues to rely on the what with sentence formation. Hes added the me, I formation as in this is the situation, me, I would do this. OK if this is used a bit but Carter throws it in often and out of the mouths of every character. Maybe the editor needs to take a closer look.audio library1 David Odeen105 12

A good solid mystery . ,nominee in paperback category of Edgars. Thought they did a good job showing the interconnections between politics, businesses, crime and police.
Found Maggie more interesting than Mariola, who seemed a bit bland thanks to he somewhat more colorful characters the author surrounded her withmystery Jo361 5
This one is more a thriller than mystery, but we get to see more of Delia's struggle, as Chief of Detectives, to balance the expectations of Baxter on her department as well as visibility as a lesbian in the conservative small town.2024-sapphic-books general lgbt4 s2 comments Delon Narain25 1 follower
