About this ebook

New York Times and USA Today Best-Selling Author

Black Stiletto Moves to L.A.—For Better or Worse


It is 1961 in the fourth book of The Black Stiletto Series. Judy, the Stiletto, meets Leo, a charismatic man who convinces her to move to Los Angeles when she is "run out" of New York by increasingly hazardous police heat.

Soon Judy suspects that Leo is not the white knight she first thought. Leo, who has connections with the West Coast mobs, has plenty of skeletons in his closet. His mysterious sister, Christina, who once served time for armed robbery, could also be a threat to the Stiletto's new life in California.

Meanwhile, in the present, Alzheimer's-stricken Judy takes a turn for the worse as Martin comes to grips with the imminent end of his mother's life. And when elements from the Stiletto's past once again appear to threaten Martin's family, it is up to his daughter Gina to step up and take matters into her own hands.

In a novel bristling with mysteries, secrets, and lies, The Black Stiletto saga takes a dark left turn into even more treacherous territory.

Perfect for fans of vigilante justice

    5/5
    The Fourth book of the series, and unfortunately the second last.

    Just as great as the others, the story deepens and gets a few new layers. The Black Stiletto is now in LA, and living a very different life than in New York.

    No less action packed, but deeper as secrets start to be revealed and questions start to get answers.

    Love this series
