Wounds So Deep — Mack Thornton

May 14, 1951 - A cloudy gray Monday morning and Timothy Jarrett was looking forward to catching a little shuteye at his desk. But when the curvaceous blonde bombshell Tawni Wolfe offers the private detective a hundred dollars to watch her back - as well as be her bodyguard when she performs her strip-tease act at the Fantasies Lounge, Jarrett eagerly agrees. His plans for an exciting evening take a sour turn when he discovers his newest client stabbed to death in her home before she could reveal the nature of her mortal fears. What dark secret would the beautiful Miss Wolfe hire a private detective to guard and a killer brutally murder for? Jarrett follows the torrid trail of lies and deceit through the dark alleys and smoky bars of the city trying to discover the truth behind this mysterious woman's secret life and a savage killer's motive for ending it. Wounds So Deep is the first in the Timothy Jarrett Private Eye series.
