Jeri Howard Books 1-9 (Jeri Howard Mystery #1-9)

Alternate cover edition of ASIN B07CSTTVGY

Jeri's as savvy as Sam Spade, with something of Spade's seen-it-all outlook. She handles the daily bread and butter without breaking a sweat, and she's got the street smarts to handle the bad guys, always managing somehow to land a well-deserved punch. What she doesn't know, her chic lawyer pal, Cassie, can supply; and her cop ex-husband's on hand to make trouble.

Included in this 9-book box set:

DON'T TURN YOUR BACK ON THE OCEAN
