About the Book

 

TALKING ROCK

Legs, a thirty-something single mother, has had enough of entitled rich men using her for their own purposes.  To match her hot body, she creates a confident, in-charge alter ego determined to turn the tables and exploit them.  She desires a life of wealth and power and when she meets Charlie Webb, a timid lawyer who is the nephew of a member of the Georgia State Senate, she realizes that 'high life' may finally be within her grasp.  Her plan is to use his lack of confidence, his connections, and his ambition to make him a Senator and then marry him.  To accomplish this goal, she uses her knowledge of a serial killer who operated in Georgia, Jim Coleman, who killed wealthy fathers and their sons with such skill that the murders were considered suicides.  By targeting a random family first, to set the scene and to test Charlie’s abilities and commitment, she then moves on to his uncle, the person she needs to eliminate in order to have Charlie appointed to fill his vacant Senate seat.  Legs tips off Bill Dean, a prominent newspaper reporter, to ensure all suspicion is placed exactly where she wants it – on Jim Coleman.  While the Georgia Bureau of Investigation follows the evidence on a wild goose chase, Legs and Charlie are on the fast track toward making all of their dreams come true.
