About this ebook

"If you're wondering who can give Stephanie Plum a run for her money, meet Tai Randolph." —Kirkus Reviews STARRED review

Tai Randolph is still adjusting to a newly inherited Confederate-themed gun shop when she gets a big shock: a murdered corpse in her brother's driveway. Worse, her respectable sibling has fled to the Bahamas, leaving her to deal with the homicide and questions from the Atlanta PD. Complicating her plan to clear the family name is Trey Seaver, field agent for an exclusive corporate security firm hired to investigate the crime. Trey, recovering from a car accident that left him cognitively and emotionally damaged, is fearless, focused, and—to Tai's dismay—utterly impervious to bribes, threats, and clever deceptions.

Tai's investigations lead from the cold-eyed glamour of Atlanta's adult entertainment scene to the gilded treachery of Tuxedo Road. Potential suspects abound. But it takes another murder—and threats to her own life—to make her realize that to solve this crime,she has to trust the most dangerous man she's ever met....

Ratings and reviews

This book was definitely different than the usual mystery. I didn't like the homosexuality, which seems to be in every modern mystery, or the cursing. And Tai went from not smoking for a week to non stop smoking, which made no sense. But I don't smoke. So maybe it does to smokers. A couple of discrepencies..nothing major. Her gun shop was a joke. And I never figured out HOW Tai made any money because she never worked, never opened the gun shop. Storyline was good though.

I really enjoyed this book, well written, good mystery, good characters, and great humor!! I would recommend this book to anyone wanting a fun read and good mystery. I can't wait to read more.

Great story! Couldn't stop reading it. Good characters I'd like to see more of.
