Hi, all. My new thriller, TOXICITY, is just out. It's a prequel to my Georgia Davis PI series, and takes place when Georgia was still a cop. Here's the description:
Ten years before EASY INNOCENCE, PI Georgia Davis was a police officer on the force in a Chicago suburb. And while homicides are rare on the North Shore, three bodies turn up in quick succession—all of them dumped in waste disposal dumpsters or landfills. The investigations into the murders test the mettle and professionalism of a combined police task force. Along the way, they also test the strength of Georgia’s relationship with one of the detectives working the case. While Georgia, her detective boyfriend Matt, and his sometime partner John Stone pit their skills against those of an ingenious killer, the daughter of a real estate mogul-- who just happens to have her eye on Matt -- complicates matters. A dark police procedural and thriller, TOXICITY is a prequel to the Georgia Davis PI series (EASY INNOCENCE and DOUBLEBACK).
Early reviews have been great. One even said: "Hellmann writes with the economy and emotional punch of classic crime novelists like Lawrence Block..." (Be still my heart!).
It's available at
Kindle,
Nook,
Smashwords, and soon all the others.
Hope you'll check it out! Thanks.
