The Beauty in a Puzzling Case: A Sky Tate Story: Sky Tate

By Dean Wesley Smith

Sky Tate, the best woman detective in the country, as well as a superhero, needed to work with Beth Harrison, a stunningly attractive superhero in banking.

Beth could not figure out a crime scheme that seemed to be happening right out in public. She needed Sky's help.

And others as well. A complex case of twisted criminal ugliness. And maybe even some sex. The good kind.
