Mystery by author LB Cobb -- Promises Town"A wonderful mix of characters highlights this memorable mystery" - Mystery Scene Magazine

"Chiseled out of the Texas landscape, politics, and Virginia Rodriguez's sometimes bitchy, but mostly likable, character" - Midwest Book Review

PROMISES TOWN, introduces smart and sassy Assistant District Attorney Virginia Rodriguez and cagey high-profile defense attorney Leo Zachmann who go point-counterpoint in a legal thriller that will keep you guessing all the way to the end. A federal prosecutor, the nemesis of Washington elite, is murdered in a posh Bayou City Texas hotel room. His wife is found with the gun at the scene and her motive is obvious -- he did her wrong and she caught him in the act. The wife is arrested quickly. Perhaps too quickly, Virginia Rodriguez soon realizes. But she finds a dismissal isn't that simple. Powerful people want a conviction and more than Virginia's career is on the line -- calculating killers have added her name to their list. Promises Town delivers a rich blend of memorable characters, a fascinating view of the two-sided search for truth in criminal cases, an intriguing mystery, wry humor, and Virginia Rodriguez, a woman who has it all -- a killer of a job, a child and a dog to feed, a house to keep, promises to remember, and no Prince Charming in view.
