About this item
When 13-year-old Oz Keillor finds a dead body in his family restaurant, he is soon caught up in a mystery where the stakes are high. His older brother is the prime suspect, and Oz quickly finds out that the murder may be tied to the death of their father years earlier, who was accused of selling nuclear secrets to rouge governments. With the fate of his family in balance, it's up to Oz to try and crack the case, with the help of his best friend, Rusty. It's a quest that has more twists and turns than the dusty roads of New Mexico--with the answer being closer to home than Oz ever could have imagined.
About the Author
Some people eat to live -- I live to eat. I plan lunch during breakfast and dinner not long after that. So I guess it's no surprise that much my first novel, Cold Case, takes place in a restaurant. It's also no surprise that it's set in Santa Fe, New Mexico, one of my favorite places in the world.I came to writing after careers as a television reporter, advertising executive, and professional chef. I'm a Tennessee native with stops in Ohio and North Carolina before going to college at the University of Virginia. I've lived in New York and Boston but call London home now (one of the finest foodie cities despite what some people say).
