Hollywood Came to New Mexico. And Murder Was in the Script.
Charlie McGinley makes a living killing people. On paper, anyway.
From his New Mexico ranch, Charlie writes hard-boiled detective mysteries—when he isn't fighting writer's block, his publisher, or his bad habit of stumbling into trouble. Big trouble.
Then Hollywood comes calling.
Charlie sells the television rights to his latest Johnny Dent P.I. mystery, and soon a film crew is crawling all over New Mexico’s mesas and desert. For once, Charlie gets to watch somebody else create the drama.
Until the show's leading man, Billy Ray Cummings, drops dead on the set.
The producer calls it heat stroke. Charlie isn't convinced.
His questions lead him to the dead actor's journal, an abandoned uranium mine, and deadly secrets hidden in the desert.
With his family in danger and an unknown killer determined to shut him up, Charlie must solve a murder that happened far from the glamour of Hollywood—before someone writes his final scene.
A Killer Location is a darkly comedic New Mexico whodunit packed with eccentric characters, sharp dialogue, unexpected twists, and Southwestern humor.
