To celebrate the January 4th release of LIMONCELLO
YELLOW, I'm giving away this sterling silver New Orleans
voodoo doll necklace with a purple heart-shaped Swarovski
crystal.
Francesca "Franki" Amato is a
tough-talking rookie cop in Austin, Texas--until an
unfortunate 911 call involving her boyfriend, Vince, and a
German female wrestler convinces her once and for all that
she just isn't cut out for a life on the police force. So
Franki makes the snap decision to move to New Orleans to
work at her friend Veronica's detective agency, Private
Chicks, Inc. But Franki's hopes for a more stable life are
soon dashed when Private Chicks is hired by the prime
suspect in a murder case to find out what really happened to
a beautiful young boutique manager who was found strangled
to death with a cheap yellow scarf.
When she's not investigating, Franki is hoping to seduce
handsome bank executive Bradley Hartmann, but most of her
time is spent dodging date offers from a string of "good
Italian boys"--make that not-so-good aging Italian men--that
her meddlesome Sicilian grandma has recruited as marriage
candidates. As Mardi Gras approaches and the mystery of the
murdered shop girl gets more complicated, Franki must
decipher the odd ramblings of a Voodoo priestess to solve
both the murder and the mystery of her own love life.
