In her latest thrilling adventure, PI Sunny Randall takes on two serpentine cases that converge into one deadly mystery. PI Sunny Randall has often relied on the help of her best friend Spike in times of need. When Spike's restaurant is taken over under a predatory loan agreement, Sunny has a chance to return the favor. She begins digging into the life of the hedge fund manager who screwed Spike over - surely a guy that smarmy has a skeleton or two in his closet - and soon finds this new enemy may have the backing of even badder criminals. At the same time, Sunny's cop contact Lee Farrell asks her to intervene with his niece, a college student who reported being the victim of a crime but seems to know more than she's telling police. As the uncooperative young woman becomes outright hostile, Sunny runs up against a wall that she's only more determined to scale. Then, what appear to be two disparate cases are united by a common factor, and the picture becomes even more muddled. But one thing is clear: Sunny has been poking a hornet's nest from two sides, and all hell is about to break loose.

Two family names have come to be associated with the violence that plagued Colorado County, Texas, for decades after the end of the Civil War: the Townsends and the Staffords. Both prominent families amassed wealth and achieved status, but it was their resolve to hold on to both, by whatever means necessary, including extra-legal means, that sparked the feud. Elected office was one of the paths to success, but more important was control of the sheriff’s office, which gave one a decided advantage should the threat of gun violence arise. No Hope for Heaven, No Fear of Hell concentrates on those individual acts of private justice associated with the Stafford and Townsend families. It began with an 1871 shootout in Columbus, followed by the deaths of the Stafford brothers in 1890. The second phase blossomed after 1898 with the assassination of Larkin Hope, and concluded in 1911 with the violent deaths of Marion Hope, Jim Townsend, and Will Clements, all in the space of one month.

The book explores the reasons why people "pay back" and opens up a whole new dimension in the cross-cultural study of human consciousness.

Bestselling author Larry Goldsmith has created a story of a morally strong-willed woman much like the biblical character Joseph in that she survives her fateful situation to become a heroine. Hanna is a coming-of-age college student who must face a life-threatening situation. Treachery and deceit become the recipe for a good romance mystery. Mama’s husband enters a Chicago area hospital for routine medical tests and is allegedly killed by Hanna’s father due to medical malpractice. Stricken with grief, the widow plans revenge against the doctor who killed her husband. While murder is not on the menu, Mama devises a plan to cause the doctor to feel the pain of losing a loved one. She plans to take her revenge on an unsuspecting Hanna. Like Joseph in the Bible, Hanna not only survives being in a strange and foreign environment but because of her integrity is elevated to a position of a trusted confidant. In the end, Hanna finds the life that she desires and becomes the master of her own fate. The reader will discover that there is more than one payback in the story. There are the planned paybacks and ones created by fate. There is a lesson to be learned as the characters forgive those who wronged them, and in doing so, begin to move forward living their lives again. Author’s previous novels: Bashert and Marc Marci
