Lackey Ferguson met Marissa Hardin once, the morning he signed on to build a bathhouse at the Hardins' fancy Fort Worth home. But when Marissa is found brutally murdered, Lackey becomes the number one suspect in a trumped-up case, while a sexual psychopath runs loose. Desperate to find the real killer, Lackey must evade arrest while keeping an eye on his fiancée-who may just be the killer's next target.
"This is A. W. Gray country, sizzling with Texas sleaze, violence, and corruption. Prime Suspect delivers all the dark wit and kinetic style that the author is quickly becoming famous for, making the comparisons to Ellmore Leonard more reasonable every time out."
