The sequel to 'Murder by Association.' This story pits Johnnie against a former rival, Wilmington's mayor Alexander Ballantine. Ballantine sets his sights on a now retired Johnnie Green, falsely accusing her of wrongdoing. All hell breaks loose when Ballantine is murdered, and all fingers point to Johnnie. Is she capable of killing him? If so, what could drive her to do so?
Murder Has Two Faces, Murder by Association's sequel is an amazing read so far. Totally hooked! - Katia N. Ruiz - Oct 16th, 2002    I love two things about this author's writing style. First, her updates are posted within a reasonable time span. Second, her characters are believable which is a big plus in my book and third, she's talented as hell. Okay, that was three reasons but the last needed to be said. Great story!! - Kay - Nov 17th, 2002    humm BT?? this is a very good story but do we gots to staps on the boots to get you to finish this???
