Booker, ex police detective turned private investigator with headquarters above his friends bar and with the bar maid as a very able assistant has finally found the woman he thinks he might be able to open up to besides his daughter. His current girlfriend is a high society type who enjoys ballet, art galleries and shopping. We must not forget that she was the fiance of the guy in the first book who was hung on a clock tower and then a bomb went off.
Meanwhile Booker is asked to find and photo a cheating husband--ah ha-a paying client! Then ballet dancers seem to be dying or should I say killed. He is asked to look into this as well. Meanwhile he is still trying to get the con artist chef from the first book to keep up with his payments to his first ever client!
The action is fast and furious with twists and turns and poor Booker getting beat up frequently--and then there is that pesky neighbor who is still trying to get him to "like" her. Oh--we must not forget his parrot ----whose beak should be washed out with soap! Booker's Mom also makes an appearance! Do they find out who the murderer is? Read the book--
Do you like fast action and lots of it? This is the series for you. I do suggest you read the first in the series Streets of Mayhem ( my review here ) as a lot is brought into this one.
NEW RELEASE....
A performance for the ages.
Courtney Johnson brings the house down in the heart of the vibrant Dallas Arts District. Later, shrills pierce the hallways of Wyle Theater when Courtney, a budding Broadway musical star, is found dead, a single bullet to the head.

And then it happens again. Another performer killed, someone Booker had met. Rocked by the shocking murders, performers and patrons alike fear that a serial killer is on the loose, and no one knows when and or where another dead body will show up.
But professional obligations quickly morph into personal vendettas. Running against an unforgiving clock, Booker is forced to solicit the help of a crime boss, The Shark.

But at what price?

Booker: Streets of Mayhem (Booker #1)
On a cool October afternoon, the majestic blue sky above Dallas is polluted with swells of gray smoke, carrying shattered memories of fifteen people, mostly children, who've just been killed by an explosion on a bus.
A white supremacist group claims responsibility, opening old wounds, turning neighbor against neighbor--fracturing the community.
A Southeast Dallas native, Booker T. Adams couldn't be more invested in the city…in the people he'd served for the last seven years as a beat cop for the Dallas Police Department. Without warning, it becomes personal for Booker on so many levels. And as panic grips the city, he must decide how much he's willing to sacrifice to end the chaos.
With his career called into question and his family in the crosshairs of one terrorist act after another, Booker invests every fiber of his being to protect a broken community, and to stop the brutal, senseless slayings.
If he fails, terrorism will reign in the city of Dallas.

This sounds like non stop action, love books like this!!
My Hubs is the one who likes all the fast non stop action. I like it, but not like he does.
That sounds chock-full of excitement! I'm not usually into cop/detective type stories but this one really seems like a thrill well worth the read.
I'm really liking the Booker series.
I don't think I've ever read any of his books but this one sounds like one I would definitely read. btw that is a great giveaway, win it and read the book on it at the same time.
This one was written for my husband. Totally. He is going to love it.
Sounds like an intense movie that should star Brad PItt and an equally attractive counterpart.
I like thrillers. This sounds like a nail bitter!
I'm not always into a ton of action. My husband is, though, and I need to get him to check out these series! (I may even read it myself.) ;)
