Aprašymas
A trip to Denver to research legalized marijuana turns into a murder case: "Very entertaining...[the] solution is both surprising and memorable."--BooklistIt's a well-known fact that some members of the cancer-survivor support group Hannah Ives works with take marijuana. Recreational use of the drug may be illegal, but a few, like Maryland State Senator Claire Thompson, are prescribed it on medical grounds. Now Claire has co-sponsored a Cannabis Legalization Bill--and wants Hannah to be part of a fact-finding task force that testifies before the Maryland State Senate.
Before long, Hannah is in Denver, Colorado, the Mile High City, staying at a B&B with a group of pot pilgrims and medical refugees--some of whom, like her, are on a mission for information. But when one of the group is found dead, and a closer inspection of the body reveals they may not be who they seem, Hannah is plunged into a dangerous cocktail of drugs and death.
From the Agatha and Anthony Award-winning author, this is an involving mystery starring a "heroine who must not be missed" (Sujata Massey, author of
The Salaryman's Wife).
"Witty, well-constructed...Talley takes the reader on a timely and illuminating trip into the often befuddling world of marijuana legislation."--
Publishers Weekly"Hannah Ives tackles life's up and downs with humor, intelligence, and courage."--Deborah Crombie, Macavity Award-winning author
"In this American version of a manor-house mystery, Hannah has to figure out who among the guests--a young academic couple, a naval cadet, senior citizens on their way to a wedding--is hiding what...[an] amusingly colorful setting."--
