An unintentional death gave birth to fear, which blossomed into corruption, followed by evil that grew and built on itself, until it took over an entire city.

DORA ELLISON would never dream of investigating a murder, but when her beloved police Lt. Francesca “Franny” Hart is coaxed by a disguised voice on repeated phone calls to investigate a “murder that wasn’t a murder” and tragedy strikes, the enraged natural born fighter won’t let it stand ... NOT TODAY - Dora Ellison Mystery Series, Book 1.

Will Dora bring a twisted murderer to justice, despite being the killer’s next target?
