Wings in the Dark – a Jake & Laura Mystery

Over the past year and a half, Phoenix-based mystery writer Michael Murphy and his publisher, Alibi (a division of Random House), have issued three novels in Michael’s Jake & Laura mystery series. I’ve read them all, and I gladly recommend them to you.

The latest,Wings in the Dark,incorporates all the elements that make these books such fun – exciting locations, colorful characters (including a few drawn from the pages of history), snappydialogue, and mysteries worthy of the name.
