Murder on a Small Island (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781483470283)

The second book in the rambunctious erotic thriller series finds Kate Hickok back in Seattle where one of the candidates for Mayor is in favor of a law that would take most of the fun and money away from the strippers who work in her clubs although he has been entertained by those same ladies on many occasions, so Kate calls on Angus, with his philosophy of 'situational ethics' to catch him in a 'honey trap' that will bring his misogamist actions and hypocrisy into the light of day. but things go four kinds of sideways, it seems there is another powerful political player in the game who wants Mayoral Candidate Donald Dimes elected but under their control, and has no compunctions about using murder, torture and kidnapping to further their agenda, and one of those victims is one of Kate's favorite employees, a bartender at a gay bar she owns.

Seattle Homicide detectives Bill Brownwen and Tina Lo are frustrated and disgusted by the grisly corpses someone is leaving around their city and Angus tries to give them some help without telling them too much about his extra-legal machinations or admitting he has been out smarted, out gunned and out manned, but he is not without friends so he assembles a very unlikely team of commandos using the nudist camp he lives in as a staging area for a mid-night raid on a San Juan Island militia compound. Gritty realism, dialoque and sex scenes along with real Puget Sound locations and complex three-dimensional characters of both sexes make this book very hard to put down, the pages seem to turn themselves.
