The phrase ‘there’s no place like home’ won’t conjure up feelings of warmth and love in The Other Side of the Rainbow. Standing up for what is right - a police motto homicide detective Carol Ann McCloskey believes in and lives by in the city of Corona, Colorado — the crown city of the Rocky Mountains. Achieving her career aspirations in 1987 means the Denver native must protect her secrets by never discussing the past. When she decides to investigate her brother’s death, those secrets are threatened, and everyone she loves becomes a target. Now, it seems Detective McCloskey’s irreverence for authority and the status quo has led a killer to her family. Whom can she trust? Dannel Pappas, a mobster-informant gathering evidence to rat out his boss, must protect his wife and daughter no matter the consequences. No one puts Senator Lane Daley in the hot seat, no one. He will crush anyone who tries even if that means going after his own son. Can Lane and Dannel stop Detective McCloskey before she ruins everything? “Set in the 80s during the AIDS epidemic, The Other Side of the Rainbow is a sophisticated mystery that grips both heart and mind and never lets go. Cordova treats her eclectic cast of characters with compassion and sensitivity, deftly weaving a page-turning plot with the tumultuous sexual and family politics of the era. Not only does protagonist Detective Carol McCloskey go up against a violent kidnapping ring and her own haunted past, she also gets tangled up in the greatest mystery of all—love—and proves in the end that, whatever it looks like, it’s all you really need.” - Doug Kurtz, Story Coach and author of the novel, Mosquito . “...the loss of sleep [reading this book] was more than worth it — I loved, loved, loved [this] story.” W. Daniel Quillen, author of nineteen books, including his six-volume Quillen's Essentials of Genealogy series "I could not stop reading! Full of action from page one." Linsey Ewing, Author of the novel Luke and Variations on the Theme of Goodbye “This is phenomenal! I love how you sprinkled in the bread crumbs throughout to keep us guessing. I’m usually pretty good at putting all the pieces together early on, but in this one, nope! I was hanging on to the end trying to figure out whether we even like poor Kit or not. Absolutely amazing job” – A Brown
