When the young basketball star and his drug addicted mother
disappear without a trace, the boy's ailing grandmother begs a
reluctant Casey to find him before she dies. But even the normally
unflappable Casey Jones is thrown for a loop when she discovers
evidence of a murder in their wake and uncovers the shocking secret
about the identity of the boy's father. When the case gets very
personal, Casey has a difficult time separating her professional
and personal judgment - with disastrous results that put her
freedom at peril and endanger the boy's well-being. In this sixth
Casey Jones mystery, kick-ass PI Casey is back with her trademark
irreverence and a cast of supporting characters her fans have come
to love including her whale-sized boss Bobby D, the ever intrepid
Marcus Dupree, Bill Butler, an old country boy flame and a new man
in uniform who may just eclipse them all in Casey's heart. Bad Moon
On The Rise offers readers plenty of action, plenty of humor and
plenty for Casey fans to enjoy. From Publishers Weekly: Raleigh,
N.C., gumshoe, 160-pound Casey Jones (first introduced in Legwork)
has more than her usual hassles. Her current beau, a cop, is
berating her for agreeing to look for evidence that could overturn
a woman's death sentence. The woman supposedly killed her husband,
another cop. Not only does Casey run smack into several police
departments who won't help her, but someone tries to kill her. And
whenever she seems close to getting a break on the case, she turns
up near a dead body and the police are certain she's involved. All
the while, Casey tries to fortify herself with doughnuts, fried
chicken and just about anything else, at least until she can sort
out her case and her love life. Casey's size and tough manner belie
her Southern roots; in fact, she wants a man to wait on her and woo
her but only on her terms. ("I've kept telling him that he's going
to have to kiss my .45 caliber ass for the next twenty years in
order to atone.") The atmosphere is thick with greasy foods and
pervasive corruption, but Casey makes this is a delightfully funny
read, perfect for a rainy afternoon or long train ride.
