|<>| "You and I are used to dealing with mysteries that live on the page." "There are no bad guys. There are just complicated people who did bad things." "I've got enough crime fact in my life. I don't need to read about it." |<>| When crime fiction and MONK nut Alex Walker stumbles upon a missing persons case on her college campus, she is determined to prove to the police department in her small hometown of Brenker, Washington that her discoveries are legitimate. She will do whatever it takes to persuade them, including finding the victim she knows is in danger. Enter Tyler Burns - the mysterious new detective intern with no knowledge of the world that Alex and her companions live in - the world of fictional mystery. He is tall dark and handsome, but with that order comes a side of stubborn, doubtful, and inquisitive. When their worlds collide, the two are forced together to find their vanished victim, but who knows how complicated that will get. But the real question is not whether the victim is found, nor how Alex and Tyler will manage to find them without getting killed - or killing each other. The real question, the only one that matters, the one that has fueled crime fiction - one of the most successful genres in history - is really quite simple. Whodunnit? |<>|Complete
