Book Overview
Fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the ride in Vintage Crimes, Book 4 of The Oak Grove Chronicles. Detective Alan Bluestein and forensic archaeologist Dr. Laura Mancini set out to get their kicks on Route 66, taking a road trip that includes a visit to an archaeological field school, the Grand Canyon, and a blissful week in Arizona's White Mountains. Returning home to Oak Grove, California, Laura and Alan encounter a veritable crime spree: the theft of ancient artifacts and a mysterious skull from the university, a stolen 1954 MG roadster, and a murder in a winery. These uncommon crimes lead to challenging investigations. Follow our heroes as they - along with their capable colleagues in the sheriff 's department, criminalists Stephanie Palinsky and Malique Johnson, and Deputy James Verdugo - use all of their collective skills to apprehend the perpetrators. You'll discover the fate of Alan and Laura's personal relationship. In the authors' trademark style, Vintage Crimes is a warmhearted blend of silly and serious.
