Tequila Mockingbird — Paul Bishop

When a highly decorated detective of the LAPD's ultra-secretive Anti-Terrorist Division is murdered by his wife in broad daylight, it appears to be an open-and-shut case of domestic violence turned deadly. But Fey Croaker discovers circumstances are not what they seem--especially after the chief of police removes responsibility for the investigation from the department's Robbery-Homicide Division and assigns it to her.

Dropped into a deadly power struggle between rival units, Fey is torn between her loyalty to the "old guard" and following the razor's edge of integrity in a world filled with lies and deceptions. As she and her dynamic crew, Arch Hammersmith and Rhonda Lawless (a.k.a. Hammer and Nails), and Fey's second-in-command Monk Lawson, race to stay ahead of a rising body count, they quickly become moving targets in their struggle to stop a south-of-the-border terrorist from striking at the very heart of Los Angeles.
