Reviews
"With Saguaro Sanction, Scott Graham has pulled off yet another storytelling feat: a whodunit in the tradition of Agatha Christie and Ellery Queen, set in the rugged majesty of one of the lesser known national parks. Touching on themes both new and familiar to his work--family, immigration, the uniquely complicated history of the land at its core--this is a sleek mystery brimming with heart and powered by rocket fuel." --C. MATTHEW SMITH, author of Twentymile
