Here's the set-up:
Maryland lawyer Stephanie Ann "Sam" McRae has two tough cases that quickly turn worse, when both clients—a poor black girl and a white, middle-class man—are accused of murder.
Sam's inquiries into the cases lead her to Washington, DC's suburban ghettos where she discovers an odd link between them: the seamy world of girl gangs and computer pornography.
The stakes rise considerably as more people die at the hands of a maniacal killer who'll do anything to keep Sam from learning the truth. Sam races to clear her clients before she becomes the next victim.
Reviews and recommendations:
"LEAST WANTED is a brave, heartbreaking, and thrilling book with a complex plot that takes attorney Sam McRae on a dizzying tour of several circles of urban hell, against a backdrop of white-collar crime. I loved it, and I admire Mack for writing it without flinching or suggesting easy answers. It's a sequel that outdoes IDENTITY CRISIS and holds the promise of a great series." -- Timothy Hallinan, author of THE QUEEN OF PATPONG and CRASHED
"In LEAST WANTED, Debbi Mack serves up a solid mystery plot wired together with high octane suspense. -- Austin S. Camacho, author of the Hannibal Jones mystery series
"Sam McRae is back and as brash as ever, with a colorful cast, a relentless plot, and enough twists to leave you breathless. Debbi Mack has carved her own niche in the mystery pantheon." -- Scott Nicholson, author of DISINTEGRATION
"LEAST WANTED hooks you from the start and never lets go. A fascinating and absorbing mystery." -- Simon Wood, author of LOWLIFES
"Fast-paced and brimming with dark, twisting plot turns, LEAST WANTED will keep crime and mystery buffs off balance and guessing until the very end." -- J.T. Cummins, author of COBBLESTONES
Debbi Mack is a Queens, NY native, but has lived several other places, including California, Pennsylvania and Maryland, where she currently resides.
Debbi's dream has always been to be a writer. That dream got deferred while she spent twelve years going to law school and practicing law. However, not to be denied, she left the practice of law to take up writing as an occupation. She was a freelance and fiction writer for about 13 years (during which time, she also picked up a Master of Library Science degree). Now, she's writing fiction almost exclusively.
Debbi's first published fiction was a short story called "Deadly Detour" in the CHESAPEAKE CRIMES anthology, first published in 2004. Since then, Debbi has published a novel and two other short stories, including a story in the anthology, CHESAPEAKE CRIMES: THEY HAD IT COMIN'. Her debut novel, IDENTITY CRISIS, features lawyer Stephanie Ann "Sam" McRae in the first of a series of hardboiled mysteries. Debbi's also written a crime caper and a thriller that she hopes to publish someday. She's also written two screenplays--one feature film and one TV pilot. (Who knows? Maybe someday she'll find a willing producer?)
Debbi enjoys reading, movies, travel, baseball, walking and cats--not necessarily in that order.
