Items related to Fools Rush In
On a blazing July day in Central County, California, snitch Johnny Blue is murdered by a lethal heroin injection. Undercover narcotic detective James Wolfe, the operative who handled Blue, goes to the Sheriff's Department substation seeking ex-girlfriend Christy Bristol. In the past he ridiculed her hobby of casting horoscopes. Now he needs her expertise to catch the man he suspects is behind Blue's murder, a drug dealer named Lloyd Parr. Stuck on the lowest rung of law enforcement, Christy becomes first a victim, then a hero in the high-stakes game of narcotic trafficking. Through her eyes, the drug world is reduced to individual players, lost values and discarded dreams. The reality of what goes on in the fertile land of the San Joaquin Valley is far more disturbing than the Hollywood version of drug lords and a wealthy lifestyle fueled by drug money. In the drug world of the Valley, there are no winners. Only losers.

About the Author:
Sunny is currently ramping up for her second novel, WHERE ANGELS FEAR, but in the beginning, she was a Navy brat, born in San Diego. When she was ten, they settled in the San Joaquin Valley of California, where Sunny discovered her writing talent and became editor of the high school newspaper. After school, Sunny took a job as a Ma Bell operator in LA, where she also developed her skills as an astrologer. In 1972 she joined the Navy, and became a stringer for base magazines. Later, she went to college on the GI Bill and worked as a photojournalist at a small Fresno newspaper. When the paper folded, Sunny took a job with the Fresno Sheriff's Department and worked with an undercover narcotics team, which provided the bones for Fools Rush In. No husband, no children, seven cats and the proverbial little house with a white picket fence -- all that and writing mysteries, Sunny says. Can it get any better?
Review:
Frazier does an excellent job keeping the reader on the edge of the seat." --Lesa Holstine, The Bookbitch
Christy is a great character. Told almost entirely from her viewpoint, we can't help bu feel her fear and cheer her on. She is strong and clever and thinks fast on her feet. This series can go in a lot of directions and I plan to be there to see what comes next. --Kim Reis, Armchair Reviews
