Ex-Chicago cop and new PI Josie Harper has been hired by an outside group to clear the name of publisher Lauren Wade, recently acquitted of the murder of her lover. That means finding the real killer, a task made more difficult by Lauren's unwillingness to cooperate and a large family problem - Lauren's parents have been kidnapped for a ransom she can no longer pay. Josie has a big challenge of her own: how to redeem herself after losing her job as a detective. When Josie and Lauren join forces to rescue the parents, they discover they make a great team in more ways than one. Will Josie's troubled past come back to haunt her? And who did kill Lauren's lover?

Well read fine tale and well developed LBGT central female PI character. Well paced and holds the tension and attention all the way.

interesting story. I definitely didn't predict the ending. I struggled to keep up with all the characters so I had to write them down (probably just a me problem though). This book will confuse you at times. to be honest I'm still a little unsure on who the killer was ha! Once you've listened to this book id highly recommended Hell's Highway by Gerri Hill 10-10 Thriller

Okay 👌

I don't get all the positive comments. This sorry made me cringe. Felt like it was written by a 17 year old. It wasn't terrible. But far from a great book. Very basic story. The only bonus is that it's queer.
