A cache of diamonds is stolen in Phoenix. The prime suspect is former Maricopa County Sheriff Mike Peralta, now a private investigator. Disappearing into Arizona’s mountainous High Country, Peralta leaves his business partner and longtime friend David Mapstone with a stark choice. He can cooperate with the FBI, or strike out on his own to find Peralta and what really happened.Mapstone knows he can count on his wife Lindsey, one of the top “good hackers” in law enforcement. But what if they’ve both been betrayed? Mapstone is tested further when the new sheriff wants him back as a deputy, putting to use his historian’s expertise to solve a very special cold case. The stakes turn deadly when David and Lindsey are stalked by a trained killer whose specialty is “suiciding” her targets.In depressed, post-recession Phoenix, every certainty has become scrambled, from the short hustle of the powerful real-estate industry to the loyalties Mapstone once took for granted. Could Peralta really be a jewel thief or worse? The deeper Mapstone digs into the world of sun-baked hustlers, corrupt cops, moneyed retirees, and mobsters, the more things are not what they seem. Ultimately, Mapstone must risk everything to find the truth.High Country Nocturne is an ambitious, searing, and gritty novel, with a fast-paced story as hard-edged as the stolen diamonds themselves.

Lane Murder mysteries are not my genre, HOWEVER a mystery that is couched in Phoenix/Northern Arizona history is quite another story! This is the first David Mapstone book I have read, so the elements others may have come to expect were a pleasant surprise to me. As a former Arizonian and an amateur history buff, this was right down my alley.I admired: * Mapstone's jaunts on familiar Phoenix streets and Arizona highways (...smile...); * Jon's descriptions of some of the old Phoenix landmarks; * Mapstone's reaction to his wife's critical situation. * Jon's cutting commentary on contemporary architecture, particularly the new federal courthouse. I'll be sure to look the next time I'm in the city; * How Jon jogged my fond memory of the smell of orange blossoms; * Some of his phrases: "I went from zero to jerk in 3.5 seconds" (he didn't say "jerk" but I can't quote him here); * Mapstone's loyalty to his friends; * Jon's reminder of President Eisenhower's brilliant Interstate Highway System (and its awful impact on small-town America); * A trip down memory lane to Flagstaff, Ash Fork, Payson and bits of old Route 66; * Jon's appreciation of how dark the countryside is with no street lights; * Mapstone's confrontations with bureaucratic bungling and his short-tempered reactions.The upshot is that I very much enjoyed my first ramble over familiar territory with David Mapstone. Even thought this is NOT his first installment, as a new reader, I can assure you it stands alone very well.This is a well-crafted mystery with a nicely snarled plot and a satisfactory exposition.

A seamless blend of mystery and facts about Arizona, making a great and unique read By Devin @ Devin's Book Hub In the seventh David Mapstone mystery, diamonds are stolen and the main suspect is David Mapstone's business partner and friend Mike Peralta, a private investigator who is the former sheriff of Mericopa County. Mapstone doesn't know what to think. Is he innocent, or did he go rogue? And who is the hitwoman hunting him down, whom he dubbed Strawberry Blond? Are they all working together, or is everybody after the diamonds?The summer months are now here, and along with that comes a slew of many book publications. If you're a fan of mystery, High Country Nocturne is one you don't want to miss out on. This novel has it all: jewel thieves, mobsters, a hitwoman, corrupt cops, the FBI, you name it. Add in the Arizona setting and there's a lot of ground that David Mapstone has to cover in order to solve this mystery.The one thing I really like about Jon Talton's writing style is rather than just telling the story of the mystery as it's unraveled and solved by the protagonist, he also tells the story of the setting, specifically Arizona. He does not go off on a tangent to talk about it, it's seamlessly wrapped into the story and flows great. Mapstone is a history fan just like me. Not only that, but he is also a fan of trains. Never have I related to a character as much as him!Talton writes in such a way that you keep turning the page more, both for the plot and also for the history. He's written yet another intriguing novel, making this one a success in my book. The book may be a work of fiction, but there's definitely a few things you can learn about Arizona from this book.Note: I received an advance reader's copy of this novel from the publisher for reviewing purposes.

By Amber Polo Talton amps up the Arizona heat as well as excitement as David Mapstone, PI, former cop and academic historian, tracks stolen diamonds. High Country Nocturne captures the flavor of a unique city. I loved the comments about Phoenix – politics, law enforcement, and real estate history. When Mapstone's wife is shot, we see the introspective side of his character as he struggles with the past and characters who may or may not be who they seem to be. Some referrals to previous books in the series, but stands alone well. Talton definitely knows not only Phoenix, but all of northern Arizona.I received an ARC of the book in exchange for an honest review.
