HUMOR, HIJACKINGS, AND A HANDFUL OF HUNKS
The fast-paced plot careens through small-town politics and deadly rivalries, with zany side trips through art-world shenanigans and romantic hijinx. Like front-porch lemonade, Reinharts cast of characters offers a perfect balance of tart and sweet. Sophie Littlefield, Bestselling Author of A Bad Day for Sorry
With a classical series sold and a portrait commissioned, Cherry Tuckers art career is in Georgia overdrive. But when the sheriff asks Cherry to draw a composite sketch of a hijacker, her life takes a hairpin as the composite leads to a related murder, her local card-sharking buddy Max Avtaikin becomes bear bait and her nemesis labels the classical series pervert art.
Cherrys jamming gears between trailer parks, Atlanta mansions, and trucker bars searching for the hijacker who left a widow and orphan destitute. While she seeks to help the misfortunate and save her local reputation, Cherrys hammer down attitude has her facing the headlights of an oncoming killer.
