High Desert

A Kate Delafield Mystery

By: Katherine V. Forrest

Narrated by: Lauren Fortgang

In this long-awaited new installment of the legendary Kate Delafield mystery series, Kate is forced to confront her most formidable opponent: herself. Kate Delafield is in a world of trouble. Five months into mandated retirement from the LAPD, her long term on-again off-again relationship with Aimee Grant is off again. She's become hopelessly dependent on the only substance that can drown her pain over Aimee - and the illness of her best friend. She is lost without her police career and beset by terrifying dreams. Into this world walks Captain Carolina Walcott of the LAPD, with a request that Kate secretly try to locate Kate's former police partner, Joe Cameron, who has vanished. She also offers Kate a business card - the name on it a woman from Kate's past who may be able to offer a lifeline back to the self Kate once was.

As she deals with a shocking and inexplicable homicide, Kate also pursues a trail of evidence toward Cameron that leads her into the high desert. Here she will find profound challenges to the truth of everything she ever believed in as a principled police officer. Here she must decide what it is she still believes: about her past, her present, her future.

Favorite Delafield Mystery

I love the Kate Delafield mysteries and this is now my favorite. Great story! The plot has some twists and turns and it's a delightful ride. Fantastic performance gives life to each character.

Perfect damaged retired police officer story

I really enjoyed the book. The pain of the protagonist was deftly expressed. They want more words read books about lesbian characters so more will be published. .
