TAMI HOAG Dust to dust
TAMI HOAG (January 20, 1959, Cresco, Iowa)
-------------------------------- BIOGRAPHY Tami Hoag (born Mikkelson) an American novelist, best known for her work in the romance and thriller genres. More than 22 million copies of her books are in print. Hoag was born in Cresco, Iowa and raised in the small town of Harmony, Minnesota. In 1977 she married her high school sweetheart, Daniel Hoag, shortly before he finished college. However, she never had the opportunity to go to college herself, as they moved to a town without easy access to higher education. The couple were later divorced. Before publishing her first novel, Hoag held varying jobs, including a stint as a photographer's assistant, training show horses, working at the circulation desk at a newspaper, and even selling designer bathroom accessories. She began her career as an author in 1988, writing category romances for the Bantam Books Loveswept Line. After several years of success in that field, Hoag switched her focus to single-title suspense novels. She has had thirteen consecutive New York Times bestsellers, including five in a 20-month span. Her novel Night Sins became a TV miniseries starring Valerie Bertinelli and Harry Hamlin. An avid competitive equestrian in the Olympic discipline of dressage, Tami currently lives in California and Florida, where she competes her horses on the prestigious winter show circuit.

"Earth
to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust", a phrase from the funeral service in the Book of Common Prayer ***
Andy Fallon, Internal Affairs cop and son of police legend, "Iron" Mike Fallon, is found hanging nude in his bedroom, facing a mirror with the word "sorry" printed on it. Was it a suicide, an erotic accident, or murder? Sam Kovac and Nikki Liska, two of Minneapolis' toughest detectives are told to exploit the case, call it an accident and move on. But Kovac isn't convinced and when Iron Mike is found dead a few days later, another apparent suicide, Kovac and Liska stop listening to the brass, put their careers on the line and start their own investigation. As they begin to dig, they uncover cover ups, a connection to a twenty year old case and a killer who wants to keep the secrets of the past dead and buried.
