Fiction. "Wry humor, straight-talking characters, and shades of the supernatural flavor this cleverly written debut police procedural. Two Spokane cops named Quinn and Odd, a female/male team, drive to an island in the Northwest Indian Territory to pick up a bail-jumper wanted for statutory rape. While there, Odd becomes suddenly psychic after reading about the 30-year-old unsolved murder of an Indian boy and his white girlfriend. Since their bail-jumper is sick, they have just enough time to investigate; and it soon becomes evident that Odd's visions come from the murdered girl"--Library Journal.
Camera-shy Anne Argula published her first Quinn mystery, "Homicide My Own," a story about a cop who solves his own murder from a previous life, with an independent publisher previously known for poetry and literary essays. When the book was nominated for an Edgar Award, she was pulled out of the shadows, reluctantly.
Since then, many have claimed that her three novels (and another in the works) were written by her mentor and sometimes nemesis, author/screenwriter Darryl Ponicsan. An ongoing investigation of the two writers unfolds on the website www.litpair.com, which the author urges her readers to boycott.
