LA BLUES by Maxine Thompson
Growing up in foster care, Zipporah “Z”
Saldano never dreamed of becoming a police officer, but after she’s
rescued from a hostage situation during the LA Riots, she chooses a
career in law enforcement. After ten good years on the force, Z is
involved in a domestic homicide case gone awry. Her partner is killed,
and Z is fired when alcohol is detected in her system. It’s two long
years before she gets sober and opens her own private investigation
firm. Now Shirley, her former foster mother, is in need of Z’s help.
Someone has murdered her grandson, a high school basketball star, and
she wants Z to find out who did it. Z soon finds herself in deeper
trouble than when she was kicked out of the LAPD. What she discovers is a
conspiracy much deeper than anyone would believe, and she finds her own
life is in danger.
LA BLUES 2 by Maxine Thompson
Life hasn’t always been easy for Zipporah “Z” Saldano, but at 35, she’s finally come to grips with some of her demons, and things are looking up. She’s moved beyond mourning the loss of her LAPD job, her partner, and her murdered nephew. She has a new love, Detective Romero Hernandez, and she’s dedicated to remaining sober. Her new business, Saldano’s Private Investigation, is thriving.
Just when she thinks she has a handle on life, though, her oldest brother, Mayhem, is kidnapped. His involvement with the Crips leads Z to believe that a Mexican gang has something to do with his disappearance. Chaos returns to Z’s life when she discovers that the gang has ties to her boyfriend’s family. Will Z be able to get her brother back? Will her relationship with Romero survive? Things are going on that are not right. Nothing is as it seems, and once again Zipporah Saldano will have to contend with mystery and mayhem in the City of Angels.
