He's tough and smart. She's tough, smart, and 12.
Houston, 1961. Texas' slickest politician has lost his presidential bid to a good-looking naval hero from Massachusetts but gained the Senate gavel. And if President Kennedy wants to put a man on the moon, LBJ wants to put Houston at the center of the moon mission. Sleepy backwater Houston finds itself short on air conditioning just when things are heating up.
In a seedy downtown office, a well-dressed out-of-towner hires P.I. Harry Lark to tail two D.C. visitors looking to build NASA a space center, but his client turns up dead in Harry's office. Meanwhile, Harry's twelve-year-old daughter Dizzy is running a lost-and-found out of a suburban garage when she's hired to find a missing father who's supposed to be dead and buried.
Find out why Jani Brooks of Romance Reviews Today calls Bayou City Burning "a terrific mystery loaded with humor, lots of excitement, and fascinating, well written characters" and rates it "a Perfect 10 book."
