According
to Discover Mystery celebrity guest judge, Edgar® Award-winning
novelist Dana Stabenow, “A Harley-riding hit woman who kills for virtue
as well as profit and a Miami lawyer turned sculptor combine forces to
butt heads with crooked lawyers, organized crime, and local authorities
to track down a murderer. Ronald Sharp had me from the first chapter, a
step-by-step account of how to blow up a house, with the bad guy safely
inside, of course."
Finalists for the Discover Mystery ™ Award included:
"Slone's Last Dance" by Bill Butler
