This is the second in the series of Jake Lowry mysteries. The first; "THE TANNING BED MURDERS" is also set in the Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Silver Valley area. Jake Lowry and his partner, Detective Bruce David, had an easy winter. They solved the KEN KUNKLE murder but the murderess, NORA WALLACE escaped. Both are still chafing that NORA has escaped. Jake and David are assigned two interesting identity theft cases. The first victim is the widow Eustace. She has tried to sell her house and finds that someone has emptied her bank account of her life's savings and her husband's life insurance settlement. The second victim, Ron Gutierrez is a Merchant Marine who was arrested on warrants in Los Angeles but had never been in Los Angeles prior to the date of his arrest. As they solve these cases they receive a call from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police that NORA may have been spotted in BEAMISH, England. This begins "THE SEARCH FOR NORA WALLACE."
