This is a first rate, suspenseful private detective mystery.
Jackie Jones is the newest entrant into the world of fictional private investigators. African American, thirty-five, and divorced, Jackie calls Detroit, Michigan home. A former cop with the Detroit Police Department, she is attractive, tough, streetwise, adventurous, witty, and romantic. She is currently involved in an interracial relationship with a homicide detective named Sam Taylor, and has a feisty German Shepherd named Leroy.
When her ex-husband, Frank Jones, the Motor City's first African American District Attorney, suspects his new wife, Candi, of having an affair, he hires Jackie to prove it.

She is determined to prove he was murdered, with Sam's help, and in the process unravels a mystery and exposes deadly secrets that puts her life in danger.
