by J.M. Redmann

The Intersection of Law and Desire is finally back in print. In the Big Easy, nothing comes easy, not life, not love . . . not justice. Two cases, one involving an innocent young girl and the other a jaded sophisticate who thinks the rules don’t apply to her, lead Micky Knight to a tawdry bar where two streets intersect, the corner of Law and Desire. When Micky finds out what is hidden in the dark rooms behind the bar’s façade, she will do anything to make it stop . . .Anything.
