Synopsis
When geologist and amateur sleuth Emily Hansen is hired by a powerful senator to investigate the mysterious death of his daughter, Janet, the case seems simple--at first. As Em uncovers shady political maneuverings linked to the ecological consulting firm where Janet worked, and the senator himself becomes less and less available, Em starts to wonder if Janet might have been played as a pawn in her father's political battles. Could Em be the next pawn sacrificed in the senator's sinister strategy?

Publisher's Note
Against her better judgment, Em - broke, unemployed, and desperate for something to take her mind off her father's recent death - accepts this less-than-ideal job: A U.S. senator sends her to Santa Rosa, California, to investigate his daughter Janet's death. He thinks something Janet uncovered at her job as a geologist for an environmental consulting firm got her killed, and he wants Em to find out what it was. What at first seems like a straightforward case gets more confusing and more dangerous as Em deals with the employees at Janet's old job, Janet's close-mouthed friends, and the increasingly hard-to-get-ahold-of senator. Not to mention the rain, which never seems to stop, or Em's mixed-up family, which is often on her mind when she should be worried about herself. It's enough to make her crazy - if the case doesn't kill her first.

Industry reviews
Geologist and amateur detective Em Hansen returns (after A Fall in Denver, 1995) in a complex and engaging mystery involving the environmental services industry in northern California. Unemployed and grieving deeply over her father's recent death, Em uneasily accepts an assignment from an officious and abrasive U.S. senator from California to investigate the murder of his daughter, Janet, a geologist whose bruised body was found in a roadside ditch. Em temporarily leaves Denver for Santa Rosa, Calif., where Janet had worked for an environmental services company, removing underground gasoline tanks that were contaminating the ground water. Identifying with Janet by wearing her clothes and infiltrating the company where she worked, Em soon becomes embroiled in an environmental firestorm involving the local water board, a steely-eyed developer, the strange family who own the land where Janet was found, a group of ditsy New Age women and the increasingly creepy and unforthcoming senator. Game but sometimes na?ve (so much so that she almost gets murdered herself), Em uses a combination of scientific method and intuition to solve the case. Andrews brilliantly describes this part of California with its flat, straight country roads bordered by deep ditches that underscore the relentless threat of flooding. Snappy dialogue and fully realized characters, especially the immensely appealing Em, turn the field of geology into a fascinating background for mystery. (June)
