Publication Information
Robert Eversz's edgy and endearing heroine Nina Zero is back...and this time she's embroiled in her most dangerous case ever -- investigating L.A.'s underground S&M scene while getting caught up in sex, lies, and babysitting.
"Eversz hits the jackpot in his fifth Nina Zero mystery.... This compelling, nerve-wracking, draining novel will leave readers hungry for the next in the series." - Publishers Weekly.
"Nina's addictive escapades (Digging James Dean, 2005, etc.) grow in depth and complexity, with mystery on the side." - Kirkus Reviews.
