The Smart woman

Complete at 80k Released soon

Emergency room surgeon Dr. Marcus Brooks has come a long way. A journey that has taken him from Pétion-Ville, Haiti, to Stanford school of Medicine and a life of success in a upmarket suburb of west Los Angeles. He married his childhood sweetheart, career-minded lawyer, Eris. But the couple are finding that the idyl is beginning to teeter. When an operation to remove a bullet from a young girl goes horribly wrong a crisis engulfs the brooks family, as Marcus finds himself suspended and in danger of losing his medical license.

Meanwhile his mother-in-law Selena is fleeing her blazing house, and its looking like she murdered her husband Big Frank Cácerez. But where is the corpse? Is Frank dead, dead drunk, or burned to a cinder? Not even Frank’s showy mistress, Tamara Austin, from Gonzales, Texas knows the answer to that. Federal Agents Jade Hobart and Denny La Salle think they have the answers.

Now the Brooks’s kids Gardy and Nia are involved, and Marcus is going to have to return to his roots delving deep into the family’s troubled past if their lives are ever going to come good again.

This fast moving domestic suspense contains all the Coen-esque elements my readers love.
