Review:

"In this, her third Whitney Logan mystery, Lambert was just hitting her stride with a high-heeled flourish-and at the same time was kicking, elegantly, potently, at the genre's limitations. Ghosttown is the best book in the series. It shouldn't have been her last."-Ariel Swartley, Los Angeles magazine "Ghosttown is tough and real and entertaining."-John Lutz, author of Fear the Night "With its memorable characters, sharp dialogue and ever-increasing mood of uncertainty, fear and menace, the narrative builds to a startling and fantastical conclusion."-Publishers Weekly

About the Author:

Douglas Anne Munson was born in Crossville, Tennessee on February 17, 1948. Her childhood was spent moving from town to town before her family finally settled in southern California. Douglas attended the University of New Mexico, where she majored in Latin American studies. She then attended the UCLA school of Law and became an attorney. In 1990, Douglas published a novel called El Ni�o, then went on to publish two mystery novels under the name of Mercedes Lambert--Dogtown in 1991 and Soultown in 1996—featuring attorney-turned-sleuth, Whitney Logan and her adversarial ally, Carmen. After leaving the law profession, Douglas moved to the Czech Republic, where she was diagnosed with a return of the cancer she had successfully fought in the late 1980s. Douglas returned to the United States in 2001, and died on December 22, 2003 at a hospital in Norwalk, Connecticut. A final novel in the Whitney Logan series, Ghosttown, was published posthumously in 2007.
