About this ebook
Shell Scott. He’s a guy with a pistol in his pocket and murder on his mind. The crime world’s public enemy number one, this Casanova is a sucker for a damsel in distress. When a pair of lovely legs saunters into his office, he can’t help but to take the job, even when the case is a killer.
As usual, the beautiful women are always the mysterious ones. Following the goddess-like facade of a major player in the California Senate investigation, Shell Scott, PI, must compose himself and get on the case before things get violent. But he can’t take his eyes off this enchanting girl.
As events churns into a cyclone of violence, Shell must rush to solve the case before he gets caught in the cross fire.
The Wailing Frail is the 13th book in the Shell Scott Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
