The Mapstone Mystery Series Continues!
Be careful where you step. In Deputy David Mapstone's case, a step in a dark warehouse leads into the city's forgotten underground. That's where the ghastly truth is hiding about a notorious kidnapping from sixty years before. The discovery leads David to put his life, and heart, at risk.
Cactus Heart offers a vivid, heart-pounding ride through the mean streets of the New West, showing again why this series has been praised as intelligent and entertaining modern noir. A "prequel," it also answers all the questions for Mapstone fans: how David and Lindsey got together; David's uncomfortable debt to the gangster Bobby Hamid; Mike Peralta's rise to sheriff; and the sexy, mysterious woman from David's past, Gretchen.
