About This Book
A councilwoman's brother is brutally murdered in an alleyway known as a haven for drug abusers. As Dora investigates she finds she is suddenly the target of a dark criminal syndicate and its murderous assassin.
A family gathering leads to tragedy, as Jesse Burrell vanishes hours after his family’s celebration at his sister, Councilwoman Agatha Raines’s, home. Several hours later, he is found, beaten to death, in an alley known as a haven for drug abusers, leaving behind Vanessa, his devastated wife, and their two young sons, Buster and Drew.
Fresh from solving the local corruption, racketeering and “murder that wasn’t a murder” case in Not Today, Dora Ellison Mystery Book 1, Dora is struggling though the police academy. Her skills put her at the top of her class, but she is an independent spirit who marches to her own drum, which is not always appreciated by her instructors.
Together with librarian, sister sleuth and intriguing love interest Missy Winters, Dora navigates her own unofficial investigation into Jesse’s murder, despite the scrutiny of “the Goose and the Gander” police detective team. She uncovers the involvement of three criminals, each one higher up in the underworld ranks than the last.
But which, if any, is Jesse’s killer? And did Jesse commit a drug-related burglary before being killed, and if so, why? The stakes are raised when one of the three criminals is himself mysteriously murdered. Now, a kingpin and his trained assassin’s sites are trained on both Dora and Missy. Will Dora survive long enough to bring Jesse’s killers to justice?
