Crime Writer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798898200275)

In the peaceful California coast city of Playa Maria, Crime Writer Zoey Kozinski joins a local police officer for a ride-along in hopes of breaking through her writer's block. But during a routine traffic stop, the cop is shot, the victim of a brutal homicide.

Zoey realizes she is the only witness and the number one target on the killer's hit list. PTSD kicks in, sending her into a tailspin. It doesn't help that she lives on an illegal cannabis farm and that her estranged mother has just arrived. Even the police officer's widow points a finger at the writer, claiming she was a distraction, and the police department knew it.

Lurking on the fringes is a man who stopped briefly at the crime. Good Samaritan or sinister suspect? For her safety, Zoey needs to find out.
