DRAG STRIP
In a genre populated with every imaginable type of amateur sleuth, there is currently only one stripper. This follow-up to Bartholomew's debut,Miracle Strip(1998), again features the dynamic Sierra Lavotini, who this time is trying to solve a murder and figure out what's happening with John Nailor, a detective with whom she keeps rubbing . . . elbows. Set in Panama City, Florida, the tale echoes Hiaasen'sStrip Tease(1993), but here the plot is a lot less gross and the heroine more endearing. When a young stripper who Sierra befriends is murdered, she vows to find the killer. Handsome detective Nailor is involved, but he's so deeply undercover that even his own partner isn't quite sure how. While Sierra tries to investigate suspect Roy Dell Parks, the "King of Dirt," and keep tabs on Nailor, her Italian mother and brother decide to visit from Philadelphia. A cute mystery that will appeal to fans of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series.Jenny McLarin--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
