About the Author:
Erica Wright is a senior editor at Guernica Magazine. Her debut collection of poems, Instructions for Killing the Jackal, was published in 2011. Her interest in crime writing began while teaching at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, though she has also taught at Marymount Manhattan College and New York University's continuing studies program.
Review:
''At the start of this riveting crime novel from poet Wright, PI Kat Stone, a former NYPD undercover detective, discovers the dead body of Stephen Kramer, the unfaithful husband she's been tailing, in the men's room of an Upper East Side bar. When Kat begins to look like the most likely suspect in Kramer's shooting murder, Det. Ellis Dekker, who's in charge of the case and a friend of Kat's, vouches for her innocence and brings her unofficially into the investigation. After someone breaks into both her home and office, Kat begins to think that her former undercover activities might be catching up with her. Painful repressed memories start to surface that touch on the reason she resigned from the police force at age 25. A possible romance with Ellis adds to the intrigue, as does the appearance of a past lover. Readers will want to see more of the humorous, thoroughly engaging Kat.'' --Publishers Weekly
