Download The Lies That Bind: A Neil Hamel Mystery, Book 5 AudioBook Free
How could you forget if you murdered somebody? That's exactly what Albuquerque lawyer-cum-sleuth Neil Hamel asks herself when she takes on the defense of an elderly consumer who can't remember whether she ran over the girl her car surely performed kill. Early each day of November first, Neil and her partner, a child, are shaken out of the post-coital bliss when they find a wonder visitor at Neil's apartment door. Visitors is Martha Conover, a pinched, chic older girl who looks askance at Neil's "just-had-sex aura" but still pleads on her behalf help. Martha's been accused of operating over Justine Virga, the girl who accidentally wiped out her grandson, Michael, in a car crash three years - to your day - earlier. Though Justine's crushed corpse is found outside Martha's home and Martha's car bears an incriminating dent, Neil little by little discovers hints from Martha's prim recent and Justine's outdoors one that indicate other suspects, from drug dealers to South North american death squads to Michael's Latino dad, wronged 2 decades earlier by Martha's bigotry. While Neil looks for Justine's killer, she treats us to her wry take on every stratum of today's Southwest, from its breathtaking landscape to the true real estate boondoggles that the S&L problems has inflicted after it, from Santa Fe's polo place and new-age entrepreneurs to a homeless man who coaxes poetry out of used typewriters.
