Hooker Avenue by Jodé Millman
Being a Good Samaritan is hazardous.
Amid a violent Hudson Valley thunderstorm, Jessie Martin discovers a woman lying unconscious in a roadside ditch. The badly beaten victim, Lissie Sexton, a local prostitute, claims she’s escaped the attack of a killer.
Jessie’s more than a casual driver who passes by; she’s a criminal-defense attorney. And Lissie is more than an ordinary hooker; she’s the key witness in a cold case under investigation by Jessie’s estranged longtime friend, Detective Ebony Jones. And now Ebony can’t find her witness. Jessie’s new boss has sent Lissie into hiding. If Jessie reveals Lissie’s location she compromises her client, her firm and her professional ethics. If she doesn’t, she risks alienating not just Ebony but the entire police department backing her. Purchase at https://amzn.to/3Kzjc2x.
To Kill a Ghost by J. Warren Weaver
When Erik’s grandfather is murdered on the front steps of his home, Erik is forced to put medical school on hold and deal with his grieving family. When the case runs cold and things don’t seem to add up, Erik finds himself leading his own investigation into the grisly murder.
As Erik becomes embroiled in escalating acts of violence, a message from beyond the grave activates his hidden skills — a set of skills carefully planted in him by his grandfather, Victor. By the time Erik realizes what is happening, he is involved in drug-dealing, kidnapping and organized crime. Unexplained murders seem to follow him, but the deepest secret is still to come. Can Erik face the truth about Victor’s past and how it affects his own future? Purchase at https://amzn.to/3uSUd3W.
