Mark de Castriqe's Dangerous Women calls for an off the grid hero with friends in high places- enter retired FBI agent-turned-boardinghouse landlady, Ethel Crestwater (legend) and Jesse (sidekick; double-first cousin-twice-removed).

""A bewitching political thriller.""- Publishers Weekly, Starred Review ""Ethel looks like Marple but acts like Marlow."" -Kirkus Reviews

In a case deciding the future of clean energy, everything hinges on how the chief justice of Supreme Court will lean. DANGEROUS WOMEN stirs up the perfect cocktail of ingenious spy-craft and political intrigue of Thomas Perry's The Old Man brightened with the charming, uncanny energy of Killers of a Certain Age. This urgent, cleverly plotted high stakes thriller is set in motion by botched attack on two law clerks leaving one dead and the other in a coma. The ensuing cover up leaves a string of bodies and too many players at cross-purposes. It also leaves Chief Justice Clarissa Baxter with a target on her back.

We'll need an off the grid hero with friends in high places- enter retired FBI agent-turned-boardinghouse landlady, Ethel Fiona Crestwater (legend) and her double-first-cousin-twice-removed Jesse Cooper (sidekick). Although in her mid-seventies, Ethel is no bumbling amateur sleuth; she's a seasoned pro with razor-sharp instincts and Bond-worthy skills. College-aged Jesse brings tech savvy and boundless enthusiasm, along with an innate talent for intrigue. Together, the unlikely duo will face malicious back-stabbing political sycophants, conniving lobbyists, and a motivated assassin bent on removing the Chief Justice from the equation-along with Ethel, who stands defiantly between the hitman and his payday.
