About the Book

Contains the Shamus Award nominated short story Setting Up The Kill

Micki Garrity has a wonderful life. She lives in a condo on the Gulf of Mexico, has friends and family who love her, makes enough money to keep her independent, and she works at a job she does well. Her cousin, Tim Carniston, Zodiac to his street pals, has a basket of trouble, and he's dumped it all at Micki's front door.

If she walks away from him, one of the mobsters he's doublecrossed will certainly carve out his heart, but if she steps into the fray she may lose everything, including her PI license and even her life.


“Fast and funny is what A Favor For Zodiac is all about.”
—Kerry Schooley, Murder Out There


“(Blue’s) Micki Garrity turns out to have quite a sharp eye for the telling detail, and an even sharper wit when it comes to telling us about it. This is a great read…more please.”
—Kevin Burton Smith, Thrilling Detective


“Top notch and stylish.”
—Anthony Neil Smith, Plots with Guns Magazine
