Shoot the Money

From the author of The Last Madam: A Life in the New Orleans Underworld, comes an edgy novel, a racy gumbo of suspense, comedy, and "sisters-in-crime." Karen and Raynie are roommates hiding from sticky pasts. When vengeful gangsters and old boyfriends descend, Karen can't hide from the Miami thug who wants his money back and Raynie's would-be rapist gets a gun and goes on a rampage. To top it off, Karen's boss, LaDonna, has a young lover with a new idea that turns dangerous. The three women unite. They've got the money, they're smart, they're daring, and they've got a gun. Shooting somebody would be way too easy. Money is at the heart of this fast-paced, action-packed novel and the question of what money can do for and to those who have it, lose it, or pursue it is answered in surprising and very timely ways.
