Dakota by Martha Grimes

Dakota by Martha Grimes

      
Grimes?s beloved Andi Oliver returns, on the run from her past

In this stunning sequel to Grimes?s beloved Biting the Moon, young Andi Oliver is an amnesiac and drifter who awoke in a Santa Fe bed and breakfast with a man?s belongings tossed about the room. Adopting a name from the initials on her backpack, Andi moves from one waitress job to the next, from Idaho to North Dakota.

It is in Dakota that she is hired at Klavan?s, a massive pigfarming facility that specializes in the dark art of modern livestock management. As Andi begins to uncover the truth about Klavan?s and a slaughterhouse called Big Sun, two men are on her trail, one a gunman hired to kill her, another who has followed her across three states demanding something from her forgotten past.

Dakota signals the return of one of Martha Grimes?s most indelible heroines, a smart and troubled young woman who, though she doesn?t know her own identity, knows right from wrong. Set against the breathtakingly expansive backdrop of the American plains, Dakota will reward Grimes?s legion of fans as well as attracting new readers.
