Los Angeles investigator Grayson Sykes is hired to track down a missing woman who may have disappeared for excellent reasons. As she digs into the secrets and betrayals surrounding her quarry, Gray uncovers unexpected commonalities with the missing woman. I enjoyed the intricate dance between two damaged and complex women, a dance that kept me shifting my loyalties and sympathies as the mystery deepened.

From Delia's list on featuring Black private eyes.

Grayson Sykes reminds me of so many friends. She is real, she has stuff in her purse that she’s been carrying around for too long. She’s a reluctant sleuth. And she has a tortured past like the characters in my book. Isabel Lincoln is missing. Or is she? I often wondered which woman was hunting and which was the hunted. Howzell Hall brings on the slow reveal with such cunning that I was blown away by the ending. Her clever descriptions made me devour this book. 

From Tracey's list on fearless female detectives.
