Description
After her stormy marriage ends, Danny Cleary jumps down the rabbit hole into a world of crack cocaine - delivered to her door by a polite but slightly deranged dealer. But when Danny's twin sister Ginger is murdered, Danny and her rock musician brother fly to California to find their nephews - and the people who killed their sister. Fighting her addiction, nosy cops and crazy drug dealers, she kicks ass and takes names, embracing her inner vigilante in a quest to avenge her sister and save her family. Cracked is a darkly comic roller-coaster ride to redemption as Danny struggles with bad guys and her own demons to find out who killed her twin.
The first novel in a brand new, fast-paced, darkly comic thriller series. Danny Cleary is a nice middle class girl with a bad habit who has to avenge her twin sister's murder - from the streets of Toronto to the underbelly of Orange. With her snappy comebacks and razor-sharp wit, Cleary is a flawed but loveable female protagonist who takes no prisoners. Will appeal to fans of Janet Evanovich, Kathleen Mallory and Carol O'Connell. Barbra Leslie is a fresh new voice to watch in crime fiction. She lives in Toronto. Stephanie Plum meets Breaking Bad in a wild and unpredictable journey full of sex, drugs and murder.
