Private investigator Kristin Van Dijk and her obstreperous partner, Otis Millett, have been hired to find kidnapped teen oil heiress Sherry Beasley, who needs to be kept safe until her upcoming eighteenth birthday.

Texas noir anyone? In Fate's violent second novel featuring Kristin Van Dijk (after 2006's Baby Shark), the newly licensed PI and her obstreperous partner, Otis Millett, investigate the disappearance of a Texas oil heiress. No sooner do they settle down to business than nasty gangsters get aggressive and the bodies begin piling up with tedious rapidity. Combine countless baddies being blown away, young women beaten up, a routine mystery plot and questionable sociological implications (cops can't be trusted), and the agglutination of seedy detail winds up being depressing rather than unsettling. The carnage may titillate some, but other readers may detect the warmed-over smell of Rambo and The Terminator. (May)

"Fate's witty dialog, colorful characters, and nonstop action make this pulp-style piece sparkle. Let's hope for more in this series. Highly recommended." -- Library Journal, February 2007
