Hell Is Naked
Jean and Mary James. Woodrock, $14.95 trade paper (250p) ISBN 978-0-9848605-6-2
Warren Roberts, the endearingly imperfect hero of this suspenseful whodunit from mother and daughter James, was a member of a Chicago police SWAT team until the physical wear and tear proved too much. Warren must now settle for routine investigative jobs from his PI friend, Bob Caine. His latest assignment, to find 29-year-old Lorraine “Rainy” Wray at the behest of her estranged father, looks like more of the same. Warren finds Rainy easily, on the set of an L.A. film shoot, where he poses as an extra to gain her confidence and her home address. Rainy disarms him with her generosity, providing him with appropriate clothes to wear for the film that belonged to a friend of hers, an extra who fell off a cliff during a shoot. Rainy’s revelation that she suspects foul play in her friend’s death, followed by an attempt on Warren’s life and the execution of Bob in Chicago, plunges Warren into a convoluted mystery. Readers will hope to see more of Warren in a sequel. [em](BookLife)
