Mystery

 

A single mom, Assistant D.A. Virginia Rodriquez tries to make time for both her teenage son and her job, however, sometimes that balance does not come easy.  While on vacation, she receives notice that Stuart Fullerton, a federal prosecutor for whom she has little respect, has been murdered.  Found in a extraordinarily compromising position, Stuart is dead and his wife is found on the scene with the murder weapon in hand.

Virginia begins to question Janette Fullerton’s guilt; the case is progressing too perfectly.  When she discovers she has made the hit list of a cunning killer, all focus turns to keeping one step ahead of this murderer.  With the help of her on again – off again boyfriend, Detective Andrew Jackson “Smitty” Smith, Virginia discovers the stunning truth behind Stuart’s murder.

PROMISES TOWN is another witty, perplexing mystery from L.B. Cobb.  Multi-faceted characters, biting humor and emotional discoveries pack the pages from beginning to end.  I am thrilled that the next book will build on Leo Zachmann, Janette’s defense attorney, who deserves his own story!  Look for Leo in PORT OF MIRACLES next year.  Meanwhile, ask your local bookseller for your copy of PROMISES TOWN or head to the online bookstores who are certain to have it available!
