Cherry Moon — D.Razor Babb

For a brief moment in time the night skies over the glittering California coast were illuminated by an ominous red glow which was dubbed the 'CHERRY MOON' by the Los Angeles media. Many theories were presented but no real explanation was ever verified for the mysterious anomaly. Some said that the occurrence was a lucky omen, others would disagree. Hollywood detective Fallon Dawn Hunter is recruited to find a missing girl who was last seen in the company of a dead man, and she soon learns that sex-slave traffickers aren't the only ruthless predators she must be wary of. Exploited hopes are the currency and shattered dreams the wages earned as the clues lead from deeply superficial Los Angeles to perfectly flawed Chinatown in San Francisco. CHERRY MOON is a worthy sequel to GOODBYE NATALIE, and a thrilling lead-in to the original book in the series, ICICLE BILL. It's a fast moving carnival ride of twisting intrigue that will have you guessing until the last page is turned -- filled with interesting characters, some of which you'll never forget, others you wish you could.
