Hoochie Mama

About the Book

All that homicide detective M Gantry needs in order to solve the most gruesome murders in Miami history is the answer to a simple question. Who is the cigarette smoker? Who is the serial killer leaving the half-smoked Camels butts at the scene of each crime?

The problem is the vicious killer might be linked to her own murky past, and her future.

When her partner is added to the list of victims, hoochie mama or not, the beautiful, troubled M Gantry must act and act fast before the killer strikes again.
