Читать книгу Detective Defender - Marilyn Pappano - Страница 4

Dear Reader,

The heroine in this book, Martine Broussard, first appeared in my 1999 release, Murphy’s Law. Best friend of that book’s heroine and owner of a voodoo shop that catered to both tourists and serious practitioners, Martine captured a few hearts besides my own. Dedicated readers periodically asked for her story over the years, and I wanted to give it to them. I just didn’t have a hero for her.

Then, after more than fifteen years of waiting, in walked Jimmy DiBiase. Martine knew Jimmy from a very short-lived and unhappily ended relationship years ago, and she didn’t remember him the least bit fondly. But underneath all that hostility—okay, yes, there was more hostility, along with aggravation and annoyance and irritation. But underneath that, Martine’s little heart squeed just about every time Jimmy came around.

That was when I knew Martine and I both had our guy. Add a few murders, a little voodoo, secrets and threats from the past—and, of course, some of New Orleans’s incredible food—and, as they say down there, Laissez les bons temps rouler! Let the good times roll.
