Book #1 of The Loi Cramer Journals.

Loi Cramer is a woman of a certain age. She is a smart woman with an interesting past, survival skills, and the grace born of using those skills.

So how the heck does she wind up penniless and darned near homeless in Atlanta, GA?

If you asked Loi, she would tell you that you had to be there, and generous woman that she is, she doesn't hesitate to take you there.

She opens the details and dishes the dirt when it comes to the rumors surrounding her marriage to Alex Cramer. Yes, it has been suggested that she killed to secure his love, but she knows that it never happened. It has been suggested that she was nestled in bed with Alex while his lovely wife lay dying in an upstairs bedroom, and ... well ... Loi will admit to that.

As it turns out, Veronica, Alex's now deceased wife, knew almost everything about the affair. Veronica left Loi with a warning: If he did it to me, he WILL do it to you.

And if If was a fifth, we'd all be drunk, right?

While nobody got drunk, Loi does learn the truth behind Veronica's prophetic words when an aged and ailing Alex is found dead on the terrace of their home. When she learns that her deceased husband left EVERYTHING to the other woman, well, can we just say that Loi is ready to cut somebody?

Turned away from her home and without much more than the clothes on her back, survival takes priority because a woman has got to keep body and soul together. But Loi is a thinking woman and she knows that you should never waste time sweating the small stuff when you could be doing big things.

Besides, revenge is a bitch.
