FLAGSTAFF MYSTERIES
A SERIES BY MARY TOLAN

After an unpopular university professor in northern Arizona goes missing, Flagstaff
detective Luis Ortega is called in to investigate. Soon, a body is discovered in a downtown
parking garage.
Journalist Miles Harper is looking for answers. Jealous administrators, bitter colleagues,
and a slick media personality are all connected to the case.
Madeline Sullivan, recently hired at the university, informally assists in the investigation
by supplying clues—risking her own safety.
With pressure rising, students in danger, and a confession that doesn’t quite fit, Ortega
must untangle who’s lying—and who’s protecting whom.


Reporter Miles Harper is on probation at his northern Arizona daily newspaper.
Maddy Sullivan is new to town, on the run from a violent husband—who wants her back.
Flagstaff Police Detective Luis Ortega just wants to solve crimes.
And someone is supplying those crimes by murdering low-wage workers with big dreams.
Who could be so angry to violently stab the innocent?
Will they figure out the identity of the killer before more people die?
Will Maddy stay safe from the terrifying man she once loved?


Longtime journalist and fiction writer Mary Tolan is hitting the ground running with her first mystery novel, Mars Hill Murder.
