GD00 - ToxiCity
by Libby Fischer Hellmann
Libby Fischer Hellmann's thriller TOXICITY is as gritty as it is
spellbinding. Populated with fully-realized characters, TOXICITY
introduces us to Hellmann's signature heroine, Georgia Davis. But we
meet Georgia ten years earlier, when she is a young and determined
rookie on a Chicago police force. In Georgia's debut, we see her
tenacity and strength, but also her vulnerability: the seeds sown for
the woman she will become. TOXICITY works on all levels, drawing the
reader inexorably into a web of deceit, heart-crushing loss, and
righteous fury. This wicked brew explodes in a stunning and satisfying
conclusion that answers every question. Hellmann pulls no punches. --J. Carson Black, best-selling author of THE SHOP and DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWNTen
years before EASY INNOCENCE, PI Georgia Davis was a police officer on
the force in a Chicago suburb. And while homicides are rare on the North
Shore, three bodies turn up in quick succession--all of them dumped in
waste disposal dumpsters or landfills. The investigations into the
murders test the mettle and professionalism of a combined police task
force. Along the way, they also test the strength of Georgia's
relationship with one of the detectives working the case. While Georgia,
her detective boyfriend Matt, and his sometime partner John Stone pit
their skills against those of an inventive killer, the daughter of a
real estate mogul-- who just happens to have her eye on Matt --
complicates matters. A dark police procedural and thriller, TOXICITY is a
prequel to the Georgia Davis PI series (EASY INNOCENCE and DOUBLEBACK).
