Description

A new play by a rising Mexican playwright is premiering, and Eve and her lover, Silvio Aguilar, are there -- the writer is Silvio's friend from their barrio days. When the lead actress is a no-show, Eve quickly uncovers that Silvio has complicated past ties to the missing diva. But there is no time for hurt, betrayal, or suspicion -- not when there are signs of a struggle at the actress's bungalow. To make matters worse, an eager young reporter, whom Eve is mentoring, keeps insinuating herself into the case at every turn, crossing ethical lines that could bring Eve down with her. . . or get them both killed.

"Having followed Eve Diamond's career from the start, I've seen her assignments become more intricate and dangerous, and her intuitive detective work even more sharply honed. Eve is this generation's Brenda Starr, and Denise Hamilton is a master of the mystery world."

-- Diane Leslie, author of Fleur De Leigh's Life of Crime and Fleur De Leigh in Exile

"Like her creator Denise Hamilton, Eve Diamond is smart and stylish, knows the streets of Los Angeles from the barrio to Beverly Hills, and makes you care about the characters whose paths she crosses. Savage Garden is an exotic tale of murder and suspense, and Hamilton's distinctive voice brings it vividly to life."

-- Linda Fairstein, New York Times bestselling author of Entombed

"One of the brightest new talents to enter crime fiction over the last few years...Diamond is one of the best characters in a currently ongoing series."

-- Chicago Sun Times

"Nobody can do multicultural Los Angeles better than Denise Hamilton."

-- The Denver Post
