Devil's Kitchen set for May release.

[Clark Lohr]

Oak Tree Press will release my first crime novel, Devil's Kitchen, this month. Could be early as May 10th.

Here's brief description:

Devil's Kitchen:
Pima County Sheriff's Detective Manuel Aguilar
investigates an apparently routine murder and
soon finds himself in the middle of a hellish conspiracy
spanning both sides of the border.

Aguilar needs help with this case and his redheaded,
ass-kicking girlfriend, Reina, along with his Yaqui grandmother,
provide that help.
So does Johnny Oaks, a Cherokee PI who specializes in finding runaways.
Jeff Goldman, a ponytailed attorney whose cynical facade belies his
outrage at institutional corruption, makes it a foursome.
The heroes solve the mystery with the help of a teenage girl and
the bad guys get theirs in Arizona's remote Skeleton Canyon.

Devil's Kitchen is a southwest noir crime romance, set in the Sonoran
Desert,where the sacred feminine traditions conflict with
the masculine logic of profit and environmental exploitation.
