Michael David Kellgren is a process server, a job where everyone wants
to kill the messenger and things can get a little bit dangerous and
out of hand. David is attacked when trying to serve legal papers to a
gang member and an angel comes to his rescue: nineteen-year-old
Gabriella Amaya, trapped in a large dilapidated house, caring for her
dying aunt. This elderly aunt has money, diamonds, and real estate,
promised to Gabriella when the aunt dies. Is there any way the sultry
caregiver can get her crafty hands on that wealth sooner? And share it
with her new lover, the unsuspecting process server who starts to
wonder if he's become a patsy in a elaborate murder plot, or if he
simply cannot allow himself to trust any woman who says, “I love you.”
Set in San Diego, Chula Vista, and Tijuana, Hard Cold Whisper is
Michael Hemmingson at his finest, most terse and torqued prose in the
crime genre.
