"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.
