Fool on the Hill (A Tess Camillo Mystery)

Author: Morgan Hunt was raised along the Jersey shore. A stint in the Navy brought her to San Diego, the location of her Tess Camillo mysteries, where she lived for 27 years. Now a resident of the Pacific Northwest, this cancer and mastectomy survivor hopes her mysteries provide laughter, distraction, and zest to others facing personal challenges.

For Tess Camillo and her roommate Lana, attending the concert of guitarist Cody Crowne should be excitement enough. But the next day, Tess discovers the singer dead-crucified, actually. Was this some religious nut? A jilted lover?His jealous writing partner? Tess finds herself drawn to a case that takes her from the Los Angeles music scene to a creepy religious organization, with danger shadowing her every move.

"Morgan Hunt's follow up to "Sticky Fingers" was everything I hoped it would be: the lyric-related title, the unusual method of murder...and the complex capers of Tess Camillo, San Diego lesbian computer-jockey/math-lover

/cancer survivor/lusty lady on the verge of menopause looking for love, justice and Italian food."
