✦ Synopsis
The FIRST mystery in the Talba Wallis series. �Wanted: Hotshot P.I. with super-human skills.� Confirmed grump Eddie Valentino placed the ad. Hotshot twenty-something Talba Wallis knew exactly how to answer it. And thus was born the dynamic duo of New Orleans private detection, one cynical, sixty-five-year-old Luddite white dude with street smarts, and one young, bright-eyed, Twenty-First century African-American female poet, performance artist, mistress of disguise, and computer jock extraordinaire. In Louisiana Hotshot, their job is to hunt down a sociopath and pedophile who�s molested the fourteen-year-old daughter of their client, hangs out in the sordid byways of the rap and recording industries, and has more powerful allies than a Cabinet member. In her personal life, Talba faces another mystery, one so frightening no one will help her investigate. But she knows she won�t sleep till she solves it�and the truth will change her forever.
