From the novel, Collateral Crimes:
They exited the interstate at Queen Creek Road and turned right. [snip] When they got to Maricopa, Mark made a right, then a few miles down made a left and drove across some railroad tracks onto a narrow two-lane. “Almost there,” he said. It seemed to Jonathan they were going deep into the desert. They had only seen a few cars since leaving the interstate, and every road they turned on seemed more remote than the last. At one point, he thought he smelled cows. They drove through some rolling hills, and when they cleared the last one, an oasis of brightly lighted buildings rose in the east. Mark said, “That’s the Ak Chin Casino.” Jonathan nodded. Mark downshifted and they slowed to a crawl. He pointed off into the desert. "That’s where we go shooting."
Amazon Review:
Collateral Crimes is the best crime thriller I’ve read in years. It’s a riveting, fast-moving, well-crafted page turner that had me hooked from the beginning. I especially enjoyed the geographical settings that take place in rural and the wilderness of Arizona's rugged Sierra Ancha Mountains where the climax of the story takes place. Yochim demonstrates a thorough knowledge of the places he writes about. I've been to those locales many times and the author's accuracy is spot on. Readers should keep in mind Yogi Berra’s sage advice, “It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.”
