This is a real thriller. There's some pretty vicious action, but the more you read, the harder it is to put it down.

Adding to LoriPed's Holiday Mystery BookBox--I'll be dropping it off at the post office tomorrow.

I thought I had read most everything Sandra Brown has written, so I'm really happy that this book was sent my way. She is an author that you can't put down. This came back in my Holiday Mystery Bookbox. Thanks for sending it to me.

After a gruff 'n' tuff New Orleans narc, Burke Basile, mistakenly blows a hole in his partner's noggin, he vows revenge--not only on the thug who was directly involved, but also on the sleazy kingpin behind it all. And in finest cop-drama tradition, he vows to do it outside the law. Fat Tuesday only begins to cook after Basile turns in his badge and--mixing charm and coercion--enlists various underworld elements in his cause. It's all a little B movie-ish at times, but for every hooker with a heart of gold, there's a fresher character like Gregory, the homosexual hustler who uses his drama degree to Basile's benefit.

Good read with enough suspense to keep you wanting more.

Saving for a bookbox coming later this summer.

Adding to Trekwoman's 30 mysteries in 30 days bookbox.

Haven't read this one either (though I have read Sandra Brown before). Will give it whirl and see what I think.

This book is part of my LiveSTRONG initiative. It will be released this morning at a random drop point along Barrington Avenue in Los Angeles to raise awareness for the Lance Armstrong Foundation-- a LiveSTRONG wristband is attached. Feed your mind with a good book, wear the yellow bracelet to support efforts against cancer.
