The Sarah Burke Mystery Series
Sarah Burke is a divorced Tucson homicide detective, and the protector of her substance-abusing sister's youthful daughter, Denny. Gunn chose the setting of Tucson because she views it as a rich resource. Tucson's proximity to the Mexican border allows her to pursue the thriving drug corridor and people-smuggling operations typical of the community. Severn house publishes the Sarah Burke novels in matching trade paperbacks a few months after the hardcover.

“It is the nature of all greatness not to be exact.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
“So we’ll live,
And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh
At gilded butterflies, and hear poor rogues
Talk of court news; and we’ll talk with them too—
Who loses and who wins; who’s in, who’s out—
And take upon ‘s the mystery of things,
As if we were God’s spies.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Autobiography is only to be trusted when it reveals something disgraceful. A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying, since any life when viewed from the inside is simply a series of defeats.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
