Damn Straight
Damn Straight
After her narrow brush with death in HOLY HELL, you'd think Lillian Byrd would have learned to keep her head down, but when a friend in crisis calls from California, Lillian jumps on a plane and wings her way from Detroit to Palm Springs---and danger.
It's the long weekend of the Dinah Shore golf tournament, one of the top women's sporting events in the world, when thousands of women descend on the desert and take over. At a pre-championship party, Lillian leaps into a romance with a top LPGA star.
But her superstar athlete has a secret: Someone is quietly terrorizing her. Lillian, eager to help, goes undercover as a high-profile reporter, an unhinged nun, and a professional caddie while uncovering layer after disturbing layer of the golfer's past.
Finally, with violence erupting at every turn, Lillian uncovers her lover's ultimate horrifying secret--and it is not at all what she had guessed.
With this book, Elizabeth Sims presents another nail-biting thriller featuring her oh-so-human amateur detective.
