Summary:
YOU DONT HAVE TO BE UP TO YOUR NECK IN ALLIGATORSONES ENOUGH.
Scrappy investigative reporter Deuce Mora is certainly no stranger to dangerous situationsor to getting her clock cleaned, for that matterbut waking up in a swamp next to a plane crash with no memory of how she got there is a whole other order of magnitude.
Its a measure of her desperation that she considers placing her trust in the mysterious swamp hermit with a marginally familiar face who says he needs to hide her in his cabin to protect her from the search helicopters circling above.
Talk about a rock and a hard place! The helicopters belong to the agents of what passes for law and order in Joe Pye Countyall of whom are rottener than last Easters undiscovered eggs and under the thumb of an unimaginably sadistic, corrupt sheriff. And whatever is going on, its bigger than one off-the-rails sheriff in Joe Pye Countymaybe as big as the highest Illinois officialsand it leaks over into Kentucky.
If Deuce ever gets out of this alive, shell have a lot to answer for to both her editor at the paper (who, it turns out, pointedly instructed her not to go to Joe Pye County) and her fiancé, Mark, who did not sign on for Deuces daredevil shenanigans. Theyre both near the end of their respective ropes.
Deuce, however, hasnt got the story yet. And its not merely that the case matters to hera lotas a reporter, but also, the more she pursues it, the more she discovers links to an earlier story she thought was dead and buried, a case that was deeply personal. But will her commitment to putting the story to rest cost her both her job and her hopes of having a family?
A perfect fit for those who love tough-minded sleuths whore good in a fight, Deuce is a must-listen for admirers of get-the-story-or-die reporters like Hank Philippi Ryans Jane Ryland and Kelly Langes Maxi Poole. Odds are she could hold her own with kick-ass female detective protagonists like Marcia Mullers Sharon McCone and Laura Lippmans Tess Monaghan. Fans of Chicago private investigators VI Warshawski and Libby Hellmans Georgia Davis will feel right at home on Deuces home turf.
