Murder by air-bag component.

I've been an enthusiastic reader of the mystery novels of J. A. Jance for some years now, ever since she first started writing. She lived in Arizona at one time, but now she makes her home in Seattle. She writes two series': "J. P. Beaumont" is a Seattle homicide detective, and the author uses real locals in her stories, most of which are very familiar to me; her other series is set in Arizona and her protagonist is "Joanna Brady," a single mother who is also the local sheriff. She's a good writer, weaves an intriguing mystery, and when a new novel comes out, I'm on it pretty fast.

In her latest mystery, Partners in Crime, she brings her two sleuths together. But more important, in this novel she has come up with a genuine problem that it might be well for people to know about. I'm not sure what all dangers may be involved, but one of them is most definitely environmental.
