Affable Joshua Croft and his boss Rita Mondragon live, love, and work together as P.I's in Santa Fe, New Mexico. There's some great local colour, plenty of engaging, slightly off-kilter characters and an "appealingly sensitive, slightly cynical series hero" (according to Publishers Weekly) that go a long way towards making this sun-bleached series one of the more satisfying ones of the early nineties.

An added plus is that Joshua Croft seems to have a refreshing moral quirkiness about his cases, taking on some rather hinky assignments, from fencing stolen gems to tracking down the remains of a Navajo Indian who died over fifty years earlier.

Condition:

A Flower in the Desert unsigned. All others signed on title page. One volume head corner bumped. Jacket of At Ease with the Dead with edge wear and gently chipped corners else very good to fine in near fine jackets. Due to the weight of this set additional postage may be required.
