Publisher's summary

A murdered aid worker. A political firestorm. And a killer on the loose.

When rookie Agent Michaela Sanchez receives a tip from her sister that someone has gone missing in the Tucson desert, she thinks she’s searching for a lost immigrant. What she finds is the murdered defendant of a high-profile local trial.

Lacy Hollander was a humanitarian aid worker, on trial for harboring felons after she sheltered illegal border crossers. When a conflict erupts with a local vigilante group, her murder ignites a political firestorm.

Concerned about her sister’s involvement and taking heat at home from her activist daughter, Michaela takes it upon herself to investigate.

But repeated run-ins with the commander of the vigilante group and a series of escalating threats against aid workers make one thing clear: The violence hasn’t ended with Lacy’s death. There is a killer on the loose. And Michaela must untangle the mystery before he strikes again.

Award-winning author Shannon Baker delivers a gripping new thriller set in the desert Southwest. The Desert’s Share is perfect for fans of J.A. Jance, Nevada Barr, and Sue Grafton.

Critic reviews

"[A] lyrical page-turner with dialogue that crackles, a vivid understanding of the shades of justice, and a strong and complex female lead. Don’t miss this one." (Jess Lourey, Amazon charts best-selling author of Unspeakable Things)

Narrator does story no favors

I like author but narrator gets it all wrong, sounds like petulant teenager and makes everyone in book sound so too. Ruined.

Monotonness

All female voices all sound the same. Whiny and no real expression. Dull story line.
