[Quill Gordon Mystery 04] • The Daughters of Alta Mira

“EVERY WOMAN IN TOWN IS TERRIFIED.” Since the school year started, two female students in Alta Mira, a town in a beautiful high desert valley, have gone missing while hitchhiking home from the community college. There may be a serial killer at work, and as if the new sheriff didn’t have her hands full with that, two star players on the high school football team are under a cloud of suspicion in connection with the rape of a cheerleader at a Saturday night party. Into the middle of all this, Quill Gordon and his friend Sam Akers show up for a late-season fishing trip with Gordon’s old college buddy, local radio host “Mountain Bob” Hastings. Mountain Bob thinks he has a lead on one of the crimes, and when he’s murdered during his morning program, the sheriff and district attorney turn to Gordon for help following up his friend’s investigation. After another student disappears, it becomes a race against time and gender, with Gordon trying to avoid becoming the killer’s second male victim.
