Every Thursday

Nancy Noire's a sharp attorney. She's smart, beautiful and dresses well. She s also the best Deputy District Attorney in the fictional city of Hawthorne, Washington. Her boyfriend Jack is a successful architect. They both are incredibly busy, but not too busy to have dinner (and do more) every Thursday night. It's a great arrangement, until the night she goes to Jack's apartment and discovers a body on the floor. And no Jack. If Jack didn't do it, who did? The sleazy nightclub owner? Jack's business partner? Who else? Nancy sets out to clear Jack's name, despite the lack of clues and harassment from a hostile police detective. It's a fast, fun read, with many elements of a classic detective story as well as modern touches. Nancy is a new heroine for our times.
