Colors of Blood

By Gerrie Ferris Finger

The Loblolly Farm is a good place to go missing, especially when their horses run at major tracks like Belmont and Saratoga. The disappearance of Soire, an orphaned exercise rider, prompts Evangeline to seek help in finding her friend.
Evangeline is sassy, filthy rich, and fourteen-years-old. As a former client of Child Trace, she saunters into Moriah Dru’s office expecting the detective to drop everything. And against her better judgment, Moriah Dru does just that ...
Soon Moriah Dru and Lieutenant Richard Lake (her “hunky boyfriend” as per the flirtatious Evangeline) are orbiting the equestrian world, and the Loblolly Farm seems the epicenter of violence and corruption.

Gerrie Ferris Finger writes: "I grew up in Missouri, then moved south to join The Atlanta Journal-Constitution staff. I researched and edited the columns of humorist Lewis Grizzard and co-wrote a news column with another reporter for three years."Lewis became my mentor, and when he passed away, I joined the newspapers’ Southern Task Force. As a reporter, I traveled the Tobacco Roads of Georgia, Virginia and Alabama, and the narrow, historic streets of New Orleans. I wrote about Natchez, Mississippi’s unique history, Florida’s diverse population, and the Outer Banks struggle to keep the Cape Hatteras light house from toppling into the sea. Also, I served on the National News Desk and on the City Desk’s City Life section."Since I covered crime for the newspaper, I turned to crime fiction when I retired. In 2009, I won The Malice Domestic/St. Martin’s Minotaur Best First Traditional Novel Competition for The End Game, released by St. Martin’s Minotaur in 2010."Real crime is sordid, with no romance or redeeming features. Justice often doesn’t prevail. Real people go back to miserable lives. In writing fiction, I can make the good guys winners and the bad guys get what they deserve.
