Publisher Description
"You've most likely never met a narrator like Bobbi. Tough, tender, funny, full of heart—and a transgender woman." — Jodi Picoult
Bobbi Logan is a successful businesswoman and a celebrated hairdresser. She is a witty, articulate woman who has survived rape, gender transition, a murder investigation, and countless acts of bullying and bigotry to get where she is—and she's made enemies along the way. Now one of them is stalking her. With each passing day, the threats become more brazen, more violent, and more personal. No one knows who here stalker is or why he's after her, but he's getting closer every day.
Bobbi is intimidated but she has vowed to never be the victim again. She accumulates a list of six suspects, and with courage and persistence, she hunts them down, one by one—stalking her possible stalkers. But as she confronts those men who may want to do her harm, the number seven keeps haunting her—there must be a seventh suspect.
And when she finds him, Bobbi's world implodes.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The past weighs heavily on Bobbi Logan in James's third outing for the transgender Chicago hairdresser (after 2016's A Kind of Justice), to the detriment of the book as a self-contained mystery. As Bobbi navigates her uneasy recovery from brutal past traumas and shaky lost loves, she starts feeling watched, then threatened, and finally under outright attack from an unknown assailant. As the brutality ratchets up, Bobbi bands her support network together, including former lover Phil, a Chicago policeman, and Cecelia, a retired investment banker who serves as her mentor and guidepost for her posttransition life. The stakes rise after someone trashes her hair salon and later her house. Though readers are sure to cheer for the brave, resolute Bobbi, her fixations on numerology and the need for seven suspects, as well as the clearly telegraphed identity of the stalker, make this a novel with a great protagonist in need of a better plot.
