Opis

After her stormy marriage ends, Danny Cleary jumps down the rabbit hole into a world of crack cocaine - delivered to her door by a polite but slightly deranged dealer. But when Danny's twin sister Ginger is murdered, Danny and her rock musician brother fly to California to find their nephews - and the people who killed their sister. Fighting her addiction, nosy cops and crazy drug dealers, she kicks ass and takes names, embracing her inner vigilante in a quest to avenge her sister and save her family.

Cracked is a darkly comic roller-coaster ride to redemption as Danny struggles with bad guys and her own demons to find out who killed her twin.

Recenzje

"An honest portrayal of a woman whose weakness could very well be what keeps her alive." - Joyous Reads

"This trilogy starter is wild, violent and surprisingly emotional. There's an honesty in the narrative - told through the voice of a crack addict - that does not apologize. The sibling love is strong throughout; they would literally die for each other." - Romantic Times

"Her writing style and twists can be addictive, even if they're not crack." - Kirkus

" Cracked is a rollercoaster from start to finish, an addictive ride that will leave fans jonesing for the Clearys' next adventure." - Foreword Reviews

"a QuentinTarantino-style roller-coaster ride, with wry humor, a graphic body count, and lots of drug detail." - Booklist

"If you pick up this book, be warned: You are no longer in polite, orderly Canada...Along the road are moments of stark madness, cocaine withdrawal in all its squalid misery and its savage rending of friendships, families, time - Barbra Leslie lived this book and it shows." - Globe and Mail
