In PYRES, 15 year old Lucia Moberg lifts a CD out of a store in a shopping mall--and when she and her dad get into their car, there is a tap at the window. The next second her father's brains are on the dashboard. So begins the story of the ruin of her mother, whose home life is shrouded in darkness, a mysterious and menacing motorcycle gang, the real-to-life female cop out to crack the case, who is facing her own family's collapse, and the struggle for Lucia to piece together some semblance of a normal teenage life. The writing is hard and crisp, and wholly multi-dimensional, while the story moves along at a nail-biting pace with twists, turns, literary allusions, and the engaging plight of several fascinating, memorable, and fully rounded characters.

New York: Minotaur, 2007. Edgar Award nominee. "Punky Lucia Moberg turns sixteen in a week. She steals CS's from the stores, argues with her mom, and pines for the rebel boy next door. But adolescence ends fast in a mall parking lot when Lucia's professor father is shot dead in an apparent botched stickup. The killer flees, and so ignites an inferno that will engulf all of the women it touches: a mother whose dramatic life is shrouded in darkness; a pregnant outlaw desperate for a secure life; a dogged cop atoning for her own family's collapse; and Lucia herself, caught in the peril and violence that surrounds her.".
