When she's almost run down by a speeding car, blind auto
mechanic Cadence Moran at first thinks that she's the victim of road rage or a
bad driver. In fact, she's the only witness to a murder, and now the killer
believes that she's seen the getaway car. Shamus Award-winning author
of Forcing Amaryllis Louise Ure paints the glare of a Southwestern
summer with the brush of a blind woman's darkness in a riveting, page-turning
mystery, as Cadence fights to stop a killer she can't see.
"An acute study of a fiercely independent heroine and a nail-biting suspenser." -- Kirkus (starred review)

Louise Ure
spent a quarter of a century in advertising and marketing in the United States,
Singapore and Australia before finding her true love: writing crime fiction. Her
debut mystery, Forcing Amaryllis, won the Shamus Award for Best First Novel.
Booklist's starred review said, "Ure's debut so compellingly evokes the hot, dry
Southwest, readers may want to have an ice-cold glass of water nearby while
reading it." The latest book, The Fault Tree, is the harrowing tale of a blind
woman's race against a killer. Ure currently lives in San Francisco.
