A suspense thriller with a murder mystery at its heart, Black Leather begins with two blonde sisters, one black husband and a murdered Navajo. Reality becomes increasingly uncertain as a husband works to help his accused wife. Evidence isn’t what it seems to be, neither woman is who she seems to be, and all three hold close their dark secrets. His long-repressed temptations resurface as he slides deeper and deeper into the sisters’ sleazy world of black leather, racial preferences, razor sharp toys and mistaken identities. Is he married to a murderer, or just sleeping with one? One thing is for sure—both women are trouble, and he can’t stay away. A dark erotic thriller by the internationally-acclaimed Elizabeth Engstrom.
“A darkly seductive page-turner by a writer who knows how to put the erotic thrill into a thriller.” –DarkEcho
Elizabeth (Liz) Engstrom grew up in Park Ridge, Illinois (a Chicago suburb where she lived with her father) and Kaysville, Utah (north of Salt Lake City, where she lived with her mother). After graduating from high school in Illinois, she ventured west in a serious search for acceptable weather, eventually settling in Honolulu. She attended college and worked as an advertising copywriter.
After eight years on Oahu, she moved to Maui, found a business partner and opened an advertising agency. One husband, two children and five years later, she sold the agency to her partner and had enough seed money to try her hand at full time fiction writing, her lifelong dream. With the help of her mentor, science fiction great Theodore Sturgeon, When Darkness Loves Us was published.
Engstrom moved to Oregon in 1986, where she lives with her husband Al Cratty, the legendary muskie fisherman. She holds a BA in English Literature with a concentration in Creative Writing, a Master’s in Applied Theology, and a Certificate of Pastoral Care and Ministry, all from Marylhurst University. An introvert at heart, she still emerges into public occasionally to teach a class in novel or short story writing, or to speak at a writer’s convention or conference.
