<DIV><B>A New York Times Notable Book: A woman&rsquo;s suicide leads a man to a Nevada mining town&mdash;and a nest of poisonous secrets&mdash;in this &ldquo;top-notch thriller&rdquo; (<I>Publishers Weekly</I>).</B><BR /><BR /> There is something about the sad woman eating alone night after night at the Harmony Caf&eacute; that intrigues San Francisco CPA Jim Messenger. Unfulfilled himself, Jim feels a kinship with her&mdash;and later, when she commits suicide, he resolves to find out why. His search leads him to Beulah, a middle-of-nowhere mining town in the Nevada desert, where hatreds run deep, where secrets are as venomous as a rattlesnake bite, and where a stranger asking too many questions might inexplicably disappear. Still, in this dusty, barren landscape, Jim feels completely alive. And he&rsquo;s not going anywhere until he uncovers the truth, even if it rips the whole town apart.<BR /><BR /> Richly atmospheric and peopled with achingly human characters, <I>Blue Lonesome</I> is a crime novel as tense and coiled as a rattler ready to strike and as dark and hypnotic as the lonesome desert night.</DIV>
