Produktbeschreibung

New York City sanitation worker Tracey Sneed witnesses a group of men shoot an unarmed man behind a vacant building. Frightened by what she has observed, she tries to keep it to herself, but the DA's office tracks her down anyway so she can testify against the dirty cops who allegedly committed the murder. Now she is the target of harassing calls and other small attacks, but the final straw is when her house is set on fire while she and her young son are in it.

Angry, she visits the DA's office to let them know that she will not testify, that it is too much of a risk to her and her child. There, she confronts ADA Ramona "Remy" Martin, a feisty lawyer who is determined to win her case. Sparks fly between the two women, although from different backgrounds and places in their lives. Will this encounter unite the two women or is it only the beginning of the danger and intrigue surrounding the murder case in The First One's Free?

Autorenporträt

B.L. has always been in love with books and the words in them. She never thought she could create something with the words she knew. When she read 'To Kill A Mocking Bird,' she realized everyday experiences could be written about in a powerful, memorable way. She wasn't quite sure what to do with that knowledge so she kept on reading.

Walter Mosley's short stories about Easy Rawlins and his friends encouraged BL to start writing in earnest. She felt she had a story to tell...maybe several of them. She'd always kept a diary of some sort, scraps of paper, pocketsize, notepads, blank backs of agency forms, or in the margins of books. It was her habit to make these little notes to herself. She thought someday she'd make them into a book.

She wrote a workplace memoir based on the people she met during her 20 years as a property manager of city-owned buildings. Writing the memoir, led her to consider writing books that were not job-related. Once again, she did...producing romance novels with African American lesbians as main characters. She wrote the novels because she couldn't find stories that matched who she wanted to read about ...over forty, African American and female.
