Drowning in Broad Daylight: A Marti Starova Erotic Thriller Book 1

By Montana Carr

PI Marti Starova's head pounds harder than the endless Falls City rain. Her ex-girlfriend's warnings about addiction echo as she chases two cases: a dead drug kingpin whose burger joint empire masked his real business, and the vanished son of rival drug lord Kevin Gardner.

Thornfield wasn't just peddling drugs, he was collecting dirty secrets, blackmailing the city's elite. His widow Evelyn wears grief like last season's designer coat. Mayor Garrison's public condolences reek of calculation. His underling Ari Stirling's too eager to fund the investigation.

Meanwhile, Henry Gardner has disappeared into the city's shadows. His father thinks Thornfield took him and is ready to start a war.

In Drowning in Broad Daylight, Marti's cigarettes dwindle as she follows evidence through rain-slicked streets and blood-stained alleys. When masked men put a gun to her head, she realizes she's no longer the hunter.

While Lori keeps her functional, Marti dodges bullets and cravings: either could kill her. As bodies pile up and addiction looms, Marti races to expose the killer before Falls City's drug war turns her into collateral damage.
