Capital Crime Press

Pool shark-turned-PI Kristin Van Dijk, the heroine of Fates third hard-boiled 1950s mystery (after 2007s Baby Sharks Beaumont Blues), could give Mickey Spillanes Mike Hammer a run for his money in the toughness department. At the behest of a Texas client, Travis Horner, Van Dijk and her partner, Otis Millett, travel to Oklahoma to track down Savannah Smike, Horners girlfriend, who’s being held for ransom. The assignment proves trickier than advertised, leaving the detectives doubtful of Horners integrity. After the pair successfully reunite Smike with her family, Millett is seriously wounded by gunfire, possibly from one of the thugs involved in Smikes kidnapping. Vowing revenge, Van Dijk stealthily and skillfully knocks down doors and twists arms in her effort to identify the triggerman as well as uncover the true motive behind all the bloodshed. Van Dijks resourcefulness makes her a winning series character who merits a long run.

Robert Bealmear aka ROBERT FATE Author of Baby Shark and Baby Sharks Beaumont Blues
