“Trouble Like A Freight Train Coming” is a prequel to
the Tai Randolph series. It's set in Savannah several years prior to the inheritance of
her Atlanta gun shop and her first encounter with security agent Trey
Seaver, who ultimately becomes her partner in both romance and crime
solving. For readers familiar with the rest of Tai’s adventures, this
story is a chance to watch her develop her sleuthing chops. For those
meeting Tai for the first time...welcome to her slightly reckless,
somewhat hungover, not-quite-respectable world.
Tai is accustomed to murder and mayhem . . .
of the fictional variety. As a tour guide in Savannah, Georgia, she’s
learned the tips are better when she seasons her stories with a little
blood here, a little depravity there. She’s less experienced in real
life criminality, however, preferring to spend her days sleeping late
and her nights hitting the bars. But when she gets the news that her
trouble-making cousin has keeled over while running a marathon, Tai
finds herself in a hot mess of treachery and dirty dealings. Worst of
all, the clues lead her straight into the moonshine-soaked territory of
the most infamous smuggler in Chatham County—her Uncle Boone.
"Trouble" is available as a part of Lowcountry Crime: Four Novellas in both print and e-book, but it is also available as a standalone in Kindle, Nook, iBooks, Google Play, and Kobo. So check it out!
