Mother Nature (Em Hansen Mysteries)
The unfashionable, but fascinating area of Santa Rosa, California, is the setting for Sarah Andrews's third book about oil geologist Em Hansen, who finds more dead bodies than oil. Hansen comes to this flat basin of industry, agriculture, and occasional floods to probe the death of a young woman--daughter of a U.S. Senator--who seems to have turned over one too many rocks in her work as an environmental consultant. As in her two previous books about Em (TensleepandA Fall in Denver), Andrews maintains a laudable balance between her main character's personal life and her down-and-dirty working life.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
