Death at Solstice: A Gloria Damasco Mystery
Chicana detective Gloria Damasco has a “dark gift,” an extrasensory prescience that underscores her investigations and compels her to solve numerous cases. When she is asked to help the owners of the Oro Blanco winery in California’s Shenandoah Valley, Gloria finds herself on the road to the legendary Gold Country. But soon she realizes that there’s more to the case than stolen jewelry. Mysterious accidents, threatening anonymous notes, the disappearance of a woman believed to be a saint, and a ghost horse thought to have belonged to notorious bandit Joaquín Murrieta are some of the pieces Gloria struggles to fit together. A woman’s gruesome murder and the discovery of a group of young women from Mexico being held against their will in an abandoned house send Gloria on a fateful journey to a Witches’ Sabbath to find the final pieces of the puzzle before someone else is killed. Corpi weaves the rich history of California's Gold Country with a suspensful mystery in this installment of her Gloria Damasco Mystery series.
