When drug dealers murdered her lawman husband, Joanna Brady vowed she would carry on his good work no matter what the cost. With grit, courage, and dogged determination, she challenged the status quo—and won. Now, as newly elected Sheriff of Cochise County, Arizona, she must battle the prejudice and hostility of a mistrustful, male-dominated police force and solve a grisly double homicide that threatens to tear the sleepy desert community to pieces. For the two bodies baking in the harsh Southwestern sun are connected by sinister threads that reach back generations—and by devastating family secrets of greed, hatred, and shocking abuse that could destroy the innocent along with the guilty.

Just because a book is about solving a murder does not mean it goes into explicit detail of "grisly, gory mutiliation."

Dan Brown gives a detailed description of one of the most gruesome murders possible in the first few chapters of The Da Vinci Code. Your requirements are confusing.

You may be right,I don't remember it being that explicit, but when so many of an author's book descriptions use words like grisly,gruesome,brutal,horrific,they just don't sound like what I'm looking for.
He does a theorized account of how Ebola spreads. Came out before Ebola was on network news and I read it in the 90s sometime in one read till like 2 in the morning. Went into work at 0600 (normal time) all hyped up and blah blah EBOLA blah Blah EBOLA!
His book on smallpox is good too but not white knuckle

Hot Zone and Demon In The Freezer,plus Coma, and now 'Cell' by Robin Cook are some of my absolute favorites so far!
Hot Zone was definitely gruesomely descriptive,but a disease does not have the same nasty feel to it for me,as murder by the hands of some sub-human psycho does.
