Publisher Description

This series looks sharply at those who perceive themselves as the rich - the elite, and revolves around expensive cars, clothes and posh country clubs. Fans of Sue Grafton, J.A. Jance, and Sara Peretsky will find Shelton's female sleuth captivating. Devout in her dedication for the underdog, Charlie Parker gets drawn into perilous predicaments while sticking her neck out for friends and clients in trouble. She proves a wily opponent for the evil she discovers. Using her trusty jeep for surveillance, she is aided and abetted by Rusty, a huge, lovable mutt.

"Disclaimer: I am the author. This was my first mystery and I had a great time writing it. I was thrilled when I got great reviews on Deadly Gamble (the Albuquerque Journal called it "an impressive debut mystery"). Those good reviews encouraged me to keep writing the Charlie Parker series."

    " There was very little to this story. The mystery was obvious and the characters were not all that appealling. "

    " This book definitely kept me interested throughout. I was surprised at who the killer was. I had briefly considered that person, but dismissed them. I usually figure out "whodunit", so I was glad I didn't in this one. A good read. "
