When the Spider Strikes – Available Now!
In the midst of the Great Depression, Nolaton City is rife with booze, scandals, and secrets. Rumors circle about a hitman, the Spider, whose victims owe large debts to mobsters and miscreants.
Katherine Dell, a savvy beat cop, has been after the notorious killer ever since her fiance was found dead in an alley. His murder fits the Spider’s pattern and she is determined to prove that the hitman is the culprit. But evidence that the Spider exists is sparse, and her fellow officers don’t believe the stories. Katherine’s colleagues offer no help, only ridicule.
Everything changes when Katherine is assigned a case with deep roots in the criminal underground. She will do anything to uncover the truth, even if it means getting caught in the Spider’s deadly web.
