Publisher Description
Life and love in the 1990’s is a game of Russian Roulette. Just ask Robin. Back in New York City, still trying to deal with ghosts from the past, she is slowly, oh so slowly, being groomed to take over a detective agency.
Then the formidable Marion Ross announces that her husband David is acting very suspiciously. The next day, in his classroom, David Ross is acting very dead. When the cops seem quite willing to pin his murder on a troubled twelve-year old, Robin knows she finally has herself a case.
Christine O’Donnell presents an altogether different assignment: find the man who gave her a weekend in Atlantic City beyond all her dreams, and nightmares ever since.
And along the way Robin meets Terry, and the devastating KT— “with hair the color of autumn and eyes that flashed leaf-green when she smiled.” Suddenly Robin’s hands are very full indeed…
Robin Miller Mystery Book 2.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Lesbian, junk food-loving New York City PI Robin Miller delivers the goods in Maiman's ( I Left My Heart ) second entertaining mystery. Robin, who works for ex-cop Tony Serra, grabs for herself the case of David Ross. His wife, Marion, a woman with a distinctly Upper East Side air, says he is in trouble, and she wants to know what it is. Robin sneaks into the inner-city school where David teaches and hears him mention ``paying off a cruiser,'' but leaves before the good part: David is murdered in his classroom that same day. Tony decrees the case closed and assigns Robin to help Christine O'Donnell, who wants to find the man who romanced her at an Atlantic City trade show and left her a farewell note: ``Welcome to the world of AIDS.'' When Robin does some footwork in Atlantic City, a bartender identifies one of her sketches as depicting a regular customer, David Ross, who apparently led a colorful life. Robin does a good job of solving both cases and almost as good a job of leading the reader off the track; toss in an array of gay and straight characters, who keep things hopping in settings ranging from a posh hotel to a tenement building, and the result should earn Maiman some new fans.
