Adam and Polly meet at a dive bar in a tiny town, but neither one of them are who they say they are. Polly is running, but from what? And Adam is in pursuit, but of what? Fear, theft, insurance fraud, abuse, and maybe murder are in play in this fast-paced thriller. Laura Lippman's Sunburn is an intricately plotted noir mystery, with complex and intelligent characters, and enough sex appeal to cause a... well, a sunburn. Recommended By Dianah H., Powells.com
