Publisher Description
Toronto Police Inspector John Sanders and his girlfriend, architectural photographer Harriet Jeffries, are just starting a romantic vacation in New Mexico when they agree to help two children, Stuart and Caroline, who have been stranded at the airport.
Following a local tour bus on what they believe to be a short cut out of the city, John and Harriet find themselves lost in the mountains and under attack. As the body count rises, the pair must race to save not just Stuart and Caroline, but the remaining bus passengers as well, and they can only hope that local police authorities will piece together enough evidence to arrest the corrupt local businessman calling all of the shots.
Short Cut to Santa Fe is the final novel in the John Sanders/Harriet Jeffries mystery series.
Praise for Medora Sale
“This series has been marked by its innovative use of location. . . . This time, however, Sale has outdone herself. [Short Cut to Santa Fe] is Sale’s best novel to date.”—The Globe and Mail
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Sale's charming Toronto duo, Inspector John Sanders and photographer Harriet Jeffries, are headed to Taos, N. M., for a vacation when they are drawn into their latest case, following Pursued by Shadows. At the Santa Fe airport they meet 11-year-old twins who have just missed the bus they were scheduled to take to Taos. Harriet and John pile the twins into their rental car and follow the bus, which they don't realize has been hijacked, up a twisting road into the mountains where they and the kids also come under the hijackers' control. Meanwhile in Taos, Harriet's photojournalist friend Kate, alarmed when Harriet and John don't show up, contacts authorities. While Harriet and John labor to get safely off the mountain and avoid a throat-slashing villain, Kate visits the fortified compound of the crime's mastermind hoping to learn what has happened to her friends; she too must devise an escape when the man locks her up. In this departure from her signature police procedurals, usually focusing on John's work, Sale packs her usual full measure of suspense and intrigue while allowing Harriet to shine in her own light.
