The Badass Widows: A Mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798897409624)

Secret Crime-Fighting Widows take on the San Francisco Bay Area

How do widows get through their grief? They become bad asses and form a secret band of crime fighters of course.

Former FBI agent Beth Winstead has recently lost her husband after a long isolating decline. Determined to build a new life, she joins a rowing club on San Francisco Bay. When Beth rescues widowed rape victim Elena from a derelict sailboat, her sense of purpose is rekindled. They are soon joined by widows Anneke and Zoe and, almost as a joke, they form a secret group of do-gooder crime fighters. They begin small but before long, they're committing bold acts of secret justice and are hooked on the "rush" it provides. Meanwhile, someone is stalking Beth and Elena. And not every mission is successful. A betrayal from within puts all of their lives in danger. In the end, the widows must decide whether they have found their new calling or made a foolish and dangerous mistake.
