Kill Cue: A Veronica Slate Mystery
The best-selling novel, which introduced a stunning new sleuth in a world of sun, sea, sin and Veronica Slate. When she talks, people listen. Every night. Her voice fills the dark corners of the Tampa Bay area of Florida. Soothing. Provoking. Entertaining. Everybody's favorite late night radio talk show host. But to the two men in her life—her father, former Manatee County Sheriff Archie Slate, and Tampa Homicide Detective David Parrish—she's something more; a beautiful, determined woman with a dangerous curiosity about their world. Suddenly, Veronica is thrust into danger and intrigue when her former lover, a Sarasota disk jockey, is found murdered at his radio station. Veronica's off–the–air search for answers brings her through the shadowy underbelly of this tranquil haven into a world of vice, violence and corrupted innocence, where getting too close to the truth could be a signal for a final and deadly... KILL CUE.
