Synopsis

Death doesn't take a holiday -- even when Tamara does.

Off to sunny Kingston, Jamaica, for some much needed relaxation, former Newark cop and hard-working p.i. Tamara Hayle is pleased at first to join fellow Jersey homegirl, Lilah Love, for a night on the town. But with Lilah's abusive husband and his friend Delaware Brown along, the evening starts out bad and gets much worse -- especially when, after a blackout, the lights come abruptly up on a fresh corpse, a murder weapon with Tamara's fingerprints all over it, and two missing companions who have vanished with her money and identification.

Now Tamara's at risk in a strange place far from home. She's already lost paradise. And with death heading her way again, she's about to lose a lot more -- unless she can stop a killer before the killer stops her.

About this title

Review:

Is there room for another tough, street smart, sharp-talking female private eye in your heart or on your bookshelf? Her third adventure, now available in paperback, proves that former Newark, New Jersey, cop Tamara Hayle can hold her own with anyone else on the overcrowded scene. Paid off on her last case with a plane ticket to Jamaica, Hayle takes a much-needed break from the life of a hardworking single mom, only to find herself knee deep in the same kind of blood and crud she has to deal with back home. Previous books in the lively series are Devil's Gonna Get Him and When Death Comes Stealing.
