hires P.I. Jane Sunday to verify suspicions his father-in-law, the
senior pastor, is having an affair. The case turns uglier when one
dead pastor is found floating naked in his swimming pool, and Jane
is hired by his widow to hunt the killer. Hot on the murder trail
Jane is herself pursued by dreamboat lawyer Bertrand, but lasting
memories of her abusive father inhibit the budding relationship,
especially when questions of his credibility arise. Who killed the
pastor? Is Bertrand true-blue? A hardboiled masterpiece of
chick-lit crime, The Good Book Club takes the reader on an
exhilarating ride with its authentic characters, intense action,
and solid storyline, a ride that is guaranteed to compel lovers of
the genre to hold on tight to the emotional roller-coaster until

Bye Bye Bertie is the story of P.I. Joe LaFlam's struggle to be
free from the fear of dying destitute and alone in an alley, under
cardboard, just another discard of a world gone bad. His fear is
magnified by doubts about his chosen profession. He has long sought
to be a successful detective, but he has been thwarted by his
incompetence and haunted by his insecurity. Bachelor LaFlam, who
lives at home with his mother and who moonlights driving cab to pay
the rent on his detective office, equates marriage with bliss and a
successful career with bread on his future family's table. To be
free once and for all, Joe vows to look death in the face by
undertaking a desperate 21-day fast to twist God's arm to help him
solve a prominent kidnapping case, make some good money, and get
the girl, any girl. With God's help Joe figures the odds are now
good that he won't end up dead and alone in some big-city alley
under cardboard or newspapers or something bad like that. Bye Bye
Bertie is a compelling telling of how the fear of living and dying
badly sometimes can be relieved somehow in mysterious ways.
