She's got a Dixie Peach complexion and a black belt in karate. She's Savannah Reid, a big, sexy southern sleuth who believes in enjoying life to the fullest. She likes good friends, good food, and good lovin'. . .not necessarily in that order.

JUST DESSERTS

Memphis-born Detective Sergeant Reid is in her element cruising for crime in one of Southern California's most exclusive enclaves. . .until a shocking murder rouses San Carmelita from its star-studded stupor—and places Savannah in the center of a sensational case that soon erupts into a media feeding frenzy.

With suspects abounding—and a cast of characters that includes an ex-CIA agent and a computer genius with the technology to take the case into the 21st century—Savannah finds herself sifting through a nasty mess of sex, adultery and down-and-dirty politics that could prove the crème de la crème of her detecting career. If she can use her own appetite for justice to unmask a cunning killer.

In Savannah Reid, G.A. McKevett has created a vibrant new sleuth in a spicy, suspenseful mystery that's sure to keep readers devouring every page.

      McKevett's debut, set in San Carmelita, Calif., is an uneven mix of police procedural and gumshoe cliches. Georgia-born detective Savannah Reid and her staid partner, Dirk Coulter, are split up after the body of city councilwoman Beverly Winston's husband is found shotgunned. In an unprecedented move, Savannah is given the case alone and is told to concentrate on suspects other than Beverly. She learns why: Beverly and police chief Norman Hillquist are lovers. After refusing to abridge her investigation and discovering that Hillquist confiscated a piece of evidence, she is fired, ostensibly for being overweight. Then a prime suspect hires Savannah to find the real killer. In her private life, Savannah worries as her naive younger sister is wined and dined by a notorious pimp. An anonymous tipster, a gay detective couple and a computer nerd who finally breaks the case join Savannah and the ever-loyal Dirk as they careen from one implausible situation to the next, failing to settle into credible detecting.
