Opis

A mostly black community with its roots in farming, Goslyn, Virginia lay just south of the State's Capital. The once small, close-knit county had grown rapidly in the past two decades and boasted a population of just over fifty thousand. But the county's crime stats had grown as well, and the latest offenses included several break-ins and rumors of a meth lab. Time had brought many changes, and many of the longtime folks of Goslyn no longer recognized their community and longed for days gone by. Goslyn PD Detective Olivia "Ollie" Winston loves her family and friends and shows it through her sense of humor. Just like her neighbors, she too worries about the recent events, and it's her job to find out who's behind the crime spree. While investigating three burglaries, Olivia meets IRS Special Agent Maureen Jeffries who is pursuing a tax fraud suspect. Their cases are connected, and both soon discover they have much in common, personally and professionally. Excerpt from Goslyn County: "I think we've talked about everything except politics and sex," Olivia said out of the blue. Maureen blushed and was speechless. "Sorry, Maureen. I don't know where that came from." "Don't worry about it. You just reminded me of Carol, my receptionist. She's far more graphic though. Let's make another date so we can talk about politics. Then...perhaps a third date for sex? I mean, to talk about it."
