The Starr Sting Scale: The Candace Starr Series

A hard-drinking former hitwoman agrees to help catch a killer though the murderer might just be her.

But when Tyler turns up dead at a river gorge with a broken neck, people start asking questions. Detective Chien-Shiung Malone, the ambitious homicide investigator assigned to the case, has more than a few of her own. Candace isn't about to provide any answers, though until Malone makes her a proposition she just cant refuse. Candace finds herself signing on as Malones unofficial partner to help catch Tylers killer despite the possibility she may have murdered the boy herself. See more
