The Lethal Partner

"FAST-PACED . . . INTRIGUING . . . This assured tale snakes its way to an intricate, absorbing conclusion."

—Publishers Weekly

When seven previously unknown Georgia O'Keeffe paintings are discovered, shrewd Santa Fe gallery owner Elijah Potts sees the key to a fortune. But before the new O'Keeffes can be authenticated, the suave world of Elijah Potts starts to unravel. First his sometime lover is brutally murdered, and Elijah becomes a prime suspect. Then additional unsolved murders turn the city into a tinderbox of multiethnic suspicion, hidden dangers, and mounting paranoia.

Mo Bowdre, a blind sculptor (and occasional sleuth), wants nothing to do with the media circus that descends on Santa Fe. But somehow—abetted by his beautiful Hopi girlfriend Connie Barnes—he just can't keep out of it. Mo thinks he knows who has committed the crimes and why. But can he act on his knowledge before it's too late?

"Page is a good storyteller, effectively combining suspense and ambiance."                                        —Booklist

"As usual, Mo heads an agreeably venal, zany cast, and the culprit is well-hidden."                                —Kirkus Reviews
