A Case of Lies by Stella Marie Alden

The first time I arrested the gorgeous painter, her butt was hanging fifty feet above the Harlem River Drive.
A year later, I cuffed her for murder.
The naïve Vermonter has no clue what she’s stepped into nor how deep the city’s corruption goes. A white girl hired to paint murals in East Harlem should’ve set off alarms. Instead, she met with the local gang, received the leader’s blessing, then spray painted in one of New York’s most dangerous neighborhoods.
After midnight, any sane person would’ve run from gunshots, not toward them, but not my Essence. Now she’s framed for murder, on the run, and I’m the only one willing to do whatever it takes to save her.
