What if building a case against corruption gets you killed? A charismatic young judge on track to a successful political career will detour into corruption that leads to the person responsible for his father's murder...and ultimately his own. "Lalla Bains, PI, along with her cousin and business partner Pearlie, is caught up in another sticky mess--this one starting with a crate full of chickens loose in the courthouse and ending up with Lalla up to her neck in dirty politics. As the ladies investigate a prominent judge's murder, they discover his pile of gambling debt and more. Life never gets dull when Lalla is around--she faces a zillion complications and still manages to catch the crooks every time. A Dead Red Gamble is the newest in a fun series you'll want to read from the very beginning!" -Connie Shelton, USA Today bestselling author of the Samantha Sweet mystery series"I thoroughly enjoyed this engaging read and highly recommend "Dead Red Gamble." I also sincerely hope that the author is working her fingers to the bone writing the seventh in the series!" Diana Hockley for Kings River and Reviews
