On Behalf of the Family
Detective Dave Mason of the Santa Monica Police Department ignites a firestorm of controversy when a beautiful young girl from a rich Muslim family is found dead in a car arson fire. Mason is outraged to have to fight his own department, the community, and his skeptical girlfriend who push toward labeling this as a hate crime, or even domestic abuse, when he knows the answer lies in the girl's silent family. Joseph Wambaugh fans will enjoy this behind the scenes look at a police department in a liberal city which cannot accept that an honor killing has come to the glitzy shores of upscale, tourist-destination Santa Monica.

About the Author

Mar Preston is the author of four hard-boiled police procedurals featuring Detective Dave Mason of the Santa Monica Police Department, No Dice, Rip-Off, On Behalf of the Family, and A Very Private High School. She writes a second series set in a tranquil California mountain village, featuring Dex Stafford of the Kern County Sheriff's Department.

Preston is a long-time Santa Monica activist and divides her time between glitzy Santa Monica and a village similar to the one in Payback. There is too much to do: volunteering with the local SPCA, starting up a low power community FM station, and picking up roadkill for her wildlife rehab buddies to feed the big raptors.
