Thriller Historical
A vivid, sexy barn burner of a historical crime novel,
The Best Bad Things introduces readers to the fiery
Alma Rosales—detective, smuggler, spy It is 1887, and Alma Rosales is on the hunt for stolen
opium. Trained in espionage by the Pinkerton Detective
Agency—but dismissed for bad behavior and a penchant for
going undercover as a man—Alma now works for Delphine
Beaumond, the seductive mastermind of a West Coast smuggling
ring. When product goes missing at their Washington Territory
outpost, Alma is tasked with tracking the thief and
recovering the drugs. In disguise as the scrappy dockworker
Jack Camp, this should be easy—once she muscles her way into
the local organization, wins the trust of the magnetic local
boss and his boys, discovers the turncoat, and keeps them
all from uncovering her secrets. All this, while sending
coded dispatches to the circling Pinkerton agents to keep
them from closing in. Alma’s enjoying her dangerous game of shifting identities
and double crosses as she fights for a promotion and an
invitation back into Delphine’s bed. But it’s getting harder
and harder to keep her cover stories straight and to know
whom to trust. One wrong move and she could be unmasked: as
a woman, as a traitor, or as a spy. A propulsive, sensual tour de force, The Best Bad
Things introduces Katrina Carrasco, a bold new voice in
crime fiction.
