The Art of Murder Peggy Van Hulsteyn

Why did Melissa have to die? That's what her older sister, Micaela (Mickey) Moskowitz wants to know. Mickey, a prominent New York City journalist, returns to her hometown of Santa Fe in a quest for answers. She enlists Berg, her physicist paramour, and fiery District Attorney Lupita, her closest friend, to help solve the crime that shattered Mickey's life forever. This trail-blazing trio of sleuths encounter an eclectic cast of characters, some charming and eccentric, some sinister and threatening. The plot interweaves the high-tech world of Los Alamos and a swaggering scientist with the legendary art world of Santa Fe and an ethically challenged U. S. senator. Author Peggy van Hulsteyn, a long-time Santa Fe resident, knows these worlds intimately. The Art of Murder is a smart, engaging, and entertaining novel for readers who love eccentric New Mexico and who enjoy a good whodunit.
