Editorial Reviews

"Digger takes on a case involving a wandering husband and suspects the wife is not telling the whole truth. He then gets involved in another case from his police buddy and lo and behold someone is keeping the truth from him. The author did a great job in presenting this drama and I liked how comfortable the story flowed even with suspenseful intrigue. How he figures out what is going on, is his dogged pursuit of the facts. The author planted a few strategically placed clues that kept me in the game with key elements that enhanced my reading pleasure. Digger is flawed but I like his spirit. You'll have to read this cleverly written whodunit to learn the outcome. I look forward to more adventures with Digger Sharma." - Dru Ann, Dru's Book Musings, drusbookmusing.com

"A truly enjoyable read! Billie's classic dry wit keeps the reader entertained, and takes the edge off the darker side of a crime novel. Intelligently written, with clever dialogue, deep and diverse characterization with a relatable protagonist, an engaging and gripping plot, and amusing cultural and literary references. L.A. Hustle contains more twists than my poor dog's colon." - Zack Lynn, Author of Undead Reckoning.
