After her rescue, she spent years in the abusive foster care system, never knowing who her parents were and why they didn't claim her. When \u003cem\u003eDesert Redemption\u003c\/em\u003e begins, she still doesn't know her real name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLena's rough childhood--and the suspicion that her parents may have been members of a cult--keeps her hackles raised. So when Chelsea, the ex-wife of Harold Slow Horse, a close friend, joins a \"new thought\" organization called Kanati, Lena begins to investigate. She soon learns that two communes--polar opposites of each other--have sprung up nearby in the Arizona desert. The participants at EarthWay follow a rigorous dietary regime that could threaten the health of its back-to-the-land inhabitants, while the more pleasure-loving folk at Kanati are dining on sumptuous French cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn an early morning horseback ride across the Pima Indian Reservation, Lena finds an emaciated woman's body in the desert. \"Reservation Woman\" lies in a spot close to EarthWay, clad in a dress similar to the ones worn by its women. But there is something about her face that reminds Lena of the Kanatians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile investigating, Lena's memory is jolted back to that horrible night when her father and younger brother were among those murdered by a cult leader named Abraham, who then vanished. Lena begins to wonder if either EarthWay or Kanati could be linked to that night, and to her own near-death. Could leaders of one or both shed light on what had happened to Lena's mother, who vanished at the same time as Abraham?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll these mysteries are resolved in \u003cem\u003eDesert Redemption\u003c\/em\u003e, the tenth and final Lena Jones case, which can also be enjoyed on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Betty Webb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1464210969\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781464210969\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Poisoned Pen Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge Print\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Betty Webb","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48518561726719,"sku":"9781464210969","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_18884f8d-0fa7-4d2e-bf8f-325ca628a9ef.jpg?v=1778734817","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/desert-redemption-betty-webb-9781464210969","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
