Drop Dead: A Nick Sterling & Zoey Lassiter Mystery
It’s the 1940s—wartime in San Francisco. Young, beautiful, ambitious radio actress Billie Desmond is living the high life until an unplanned pregnancy casts a dark shadow on her romance with local radio personality and darling of San Francisco Café Society, Payton Powell.
When her lover refuses Billie’s demand they marry, she threatens to expose a secret that could land him in Federal prison for the rest of his life. Powell is not about to let that happen. Billie vanishes during a live radio broadcast, prompting the SFPD to mount a full investigation, but they fail to find any trace of the actress.
The disappearance of Billie Desmond dead-ends in a cold case file—forgotten by law enforcement until Marin County Sheriff’s Inspector Nick Sterling, and his feisty wife Zoey Lassiter, begin to pick up clues.

A super fun read. Enjoyed all the guessing combined with the mystery. Descriptions were colorful and very descriptive.
