Easy Innocence by Libby Fischer Hellmann

When pretty, smart Sara Long is found bludgeoned to death, it's easy to blame the man with the bat. But Georgia Davis — former cop and newly-minted PI — is hired to look into the incident, what she finds hints at a much different, darker answer: how far teen girls will go for approval from their peers.

Winner of the Lovey Award, Best PI novel, 2008.

Library Journal (Starred Review): “Hellmann brings to life the reality of bullying among teenage girls with enough twists and turns to keep you reading. Highly recommended.”

Cross Current by Christine Kling

Fort Lauderdale tug and salvage captain Seychelle Sullivan is en route to pick up a tow when she discovers a swamped boat. Inside are a murdered woman and a half-dead Haitian girl in a blood-stained white dress. Determined to protect the child, and somehow keep her from being sent back to Haiti, Seychelle explores the hidden world of Florida’s Haitian community.

Booklist: “Kling adds swift plotting, convincing nautical detail, voodoo lore, and tropical scenery . . . Florida's answer to Grafton and Barr.”

The Flower Master by Sujata Massey

A suspenseful, hilarious mystery about spirited California girl Rei Shimura on the loose in modern Tokyo. While studying flower arranging at a posh ikebana school. a high-ranking teacher is stabbed to death. Rei is then stalked by the mysterious killer.

Winner of the Macavity Award for Best Mystery of 2001.

Publisher’s Weekly:“…a harmonious mix … enhanced greatly by the richly detailed Tokyo setting, from ancient tea houses to arcane rituals involving the cherry blossom festival.”

Killer Instinct by Zoë Sharp

When Susie Hollins dies only hours after foolishly taking on Charlotte ‘Charlie’ Fox at the New Adelphi Club, it gains Charlie attention she well could do without. As a former Special Forces trainee now teaching women’s self-defence, Charlie might seem an ideal target to a lunatic looking for a challenge. But she’s been a victim before and this time she’s not going down without a fight…

Marilyn Stasio, NY Times: “Sharp means business. The bloody bar fights are bloody brilliant, and Charlie's skills are both formidable and for real.”

Louisiana Hotshot by Julie Smith

Talba’s got the beauty, the brains, the computer savvy, the poetic soul, the youth, the right demographic, and the sass. Eddie’s got the detective agency. (Also a short fuse and a bad attitude.) They're the perfect team to ferret out a pedophile on the edge of New Orleans' freewheeling rap scene.

The Times-Picayune: “A stroke of genius … Louisiana Hotshot is fresh, fast, and touching. Just like New Orleans, it has a lot of ’tude and a big heart.”
