Harry decides that he’s working for the wrong side and gives his client the brush-off, but when a dead body shows up in his office, he discovers that he can’t walk away. Then Harry is hired to clear a local civil rights group of involvement in a string of firebombings.Meanwhile, Dizzy and her pals are running a lost and found out of a suburban garage when they’re hired to find a missing father who is supposed to be dead and buried.What’s the thread connecting a dead mobster, a missing father, torched buildings, and NASA’s moon mission? Harry and Dizzy race to find out before the city goes up in flames.If you like stylish, witty writers like Raymond Chandler, Robert B. Parker, Lisa Scottoline, and Elmore Leonard, you’ll see why Romance Reviews Today’s Jani Brooks rates Bayou City Burning 'a Perfect 10 book.'
