MR Arnold, author of the literary historical novel, Monster: The Story of Young Mary Shelley. "Ms. Tuttle is a master of storytelling... I highly recommend this book." Tony Piazza, author of the Tom Logan noir mystery series "Susan Tuttle is a master at exploring the darker side of human nature." Sue McGinty, author of the Bella Kowalski series Skylark, a private investigator with psychic abilities that she keeps a deep, dark secret, specializes in corporate cases that mostly revolve around computer searches. But when a mutilated body is discovered, she becomes the target of a Neanderthal throwback detective, who is convinced she is guilty, despite lack of clear evidence. His focus on her brings her to the attention of the actual murderer. As young women begin to disappear from California's Central Coast, Skylark is drawn deeper and deeper into the case. When the killer goes after her, will Skylark's psychic abilities help or hinder her in saving both herself and those she loves? If you like your stories dark and gritty, and your heroines smart, strong and snarky, you'll love Tough Blood.
