The Philadephia Inquirer named Nancy Bartholomew's first Sierra Lavotini novel, The Miracle Strip, one of the year's best mysteries and Romantic Times calls Sierra "a magnificent, take-no-prisoners heroine."
Now, the exotic dancer again proves herself a pro as she strips down to her G-string and searches for a killer...
The only thing hotter than the supercharged engines at the Dead Lakes Motor Speedway is the special appearance by Sierra and her friend Ruby Diamond. But before the day ends, Sierra will be pinched black and blue, seeing red when she spots her cop-boyfriend kissing another woman-and shocked white when she stumbles upon Ruby's dead body. Now, to catch a killer, Sierra must risk her hide and-even more dangerous- expose her vulnerable heart...
Nancy Bartholomew was born and raised outside of Philadelphia and currently lives with her family in Greensboro, North Carolina. She is the author of three Sierra Lavotini mysteries.
"Drag Strip is a saucy, witty read with a most unusual heroine. In spite of her profession and her knowledge of the way the world works, Sierra Lavotini is a surprisingly innocent and naive girl. If you like funny mysteries—with a sweet heroine and a nicely macho hero—you’ll definitely enjoy Drag Strip." --Romantic Times
"In a genre populated with every imaginable type of amateur sleuth, there is currently only one stripper. A cute mystery that will appeal to fans of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series." -- Booklist
"Reliable work from Sierra and all the supporting zanies who made their debut in The Miracle Strip, though you've still got to wonder about the virginal Catholic-school alumna who strips down to her G-string in record time but can't commit to the cop who's chasing her even harder than the perp." -- Kirkus Reviews
