"Poignant and funny, studded with characters who haunt your imagination long after you've read the final page." -Anne Hillerman, New York Times bestselling author of The Way of the Bear on Kelsey's Where the Hurt Is
Burr, Oklahoma, summer, 1976: On the eve of America's Bicentennial celebration, a notorious local politician is assassinated at a campaign rally. The case seems open and shut; the killer-a young, anonymous homeless woman-is shot by police at the scene. With the death of the assassin, the lead investigator is content to write off the crime as a random act. Burr's Chief of Police, Emmett Hardy, isn't so sure. Hardy becomes convinced the killing is the culmination of something deeper and darker-a violent conspiracy that not only makes a mockery of justice but ultimately threatens his life and those around him. A tale of murder, revenge, and intrigue, Blond Hair, Blue Eyes is Emmett Hardy's most difficult and exciting case yet.
