Publisher's Synopsis
A TOP-NOTCH COZY MYSTERY SERIES... "Nichelle proves herself to be a standout. She has the cynicism of jaded police officers but also the hope of a champion and advocate for justice. Of course, a healthy sense of humor always helps. Readers who enjoy the outstanding novels of Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Edna Buchanan will find themselves similarly entertained by this stellar series by another award-winning journalist." - Kings River Life Magazine When the Richmond police offer an exclusive in exchange for help with a case, nothing-not even a costume party-stops crime reporter Nichelle Clarke from making Manolo tracks to the crime scene. The hunt leads her to a televangelist's compound in the Virginia countryside where the Reverend may be more interested in fat stacks of cash than he is saving wayward souls. With two sexy guys tangled up in Nichelle's story-and in her heart-work and love are on a crash course for disaster. Pressure pours in from every corner, including a faceless new competitor that means the deadline is always five minutes ago. As secrets threaten and the truth becomes her lifeline, Nichelle must unmask the killer and nail down the story before she's snared in the carefully-constructed web. Praise for DEVIL IN THE DEADLINE: "Walker's journalistic background fuels her snappy dialogue, thrill-of-the-chase plotting, and A-List fashion sense. Headlines in High Heels is a top-notch cozy mystery series readers will enjoy slipping into." - Julia Spencer-Fleming, New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author of Through the Evil Days "Nichelle proves herself to be a standout. She has the cynicism of jaded police officers but also the hope of a champion and advocate for justice. Of course, a healthy sense of humor always helps. Readers who enjoy the outstanding novels of Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Edna Buchanan will find themselves similarly entertained by this stellar series by another award-winning journalist." - Kings River Life Magazine "When the answers are all revealed, they come together in a nice little package that is wrapped up neatly for the reader. Even so, it leaves questions for Nichelle, which, I am sure, will be carried into the next book in this series. Recommended." - Any Good Book "Walker just continues to get better and better with the Headlines in High Heels series.
