Meet a debt collector who’s tough as nails. Well, manicured nails.
Abigail Barnes is young, pretty, and petite. But don’t let her small stature or good looks fool you. She’s a collector for bookies, loan sharks, and other people who want to get paid what they're owed.
Running from trouble in Baltimore, Abby arrives in New Jersey looking for work.
She gets a job collecting for a low-end bookie in Hoboken who is later found bludgeoned to death, his safe open and empty. With investment tycoon Alexander Bayne planning to move his large investment firm from New York’s financial district across the river to Hoboken, New Jersey, pressure mounts from the governor, the mayor, and the police commissioner to solve the murder quickly.
So the cops learn hard on local crime boss Ronnie “Slacks” Falcone to help find the killer. He learns that Abby was in the bookie’s office near the time of the murder putting her directly in his crosshairs. She soon finds herself being hunted by a gang of hoodlums, the mob, and the police. With all these forces allied against her, she knows she can’t run and she won’t turn herself in because even though she didn’t kill the bookie, her checkered past would still guarantee that she be sent to prison.
Abigail has no choice but to find out who killed the bookie - without getting killed herself in the process.
Written with gritty intensity and sprinkled with humor, The Debt Collector is a fun, fast-paced read.
