Edgar-winner David Housewright's new P.I. series features ex-cop Rushmore McKenzie, who has more money, and more time, than he knows what to do with. In fact, whether he's willing to admit it to himself or not, Mac is downright bored. Until he does a favour for a friend facing a family tragedy: when Stacy Carlson is diagnosed with leukaemia, the only one with the bone marrow to save her is her older sister Jamie. Trouble is, Jamie's been missing for years. Mac combs the backstreets of Minneapolis and finds her, only to realize that what he's looking for, and why, are not exactly what he'd imagined. A Hard Ticket Home is both funny and violent, gripping and gritty - and David Housewright serves notice that he's a crime writer to watch.
