Blurb

They call her Death Row Dotty…

New York City, 1923. When PI Jax Diamond and his trusted partner, Ace, discover a ruthless gangster hanging from the Brooklyn Bridge, the murder is tied to a string of mob deaths in Chicago. Now, they have a female killer on their hands… the infamous Death Row Dotty.

With Jax working around the clock, Laura decides to help him with another case. She searches for the owner of a gold necklace found at a murder scene and uncovers shocking evidence that points to Jax’s mother as the prime suspect.

Jax, Laura, and Ace are trapped in a deadly maze of hidden clues, twisted timelines, false leads, and dangerous assumptions. With the body count rising and the clock ticking, they need to stop Death Row Dotty before she delivers her final, chilling act of ‘justice’.

Easily reads as standalone.
