Side Hustle - A Spotlight

Today I'd like to shine a spotlight on a book being released tomorrow. Side Hustle by Wendy Gee is the second book in the Carolina Crossfire Mystery series.


Blurb:

Action 7’s viewers count on Sydney Quinn to expose corruption in Charleston. When a former firefighter takes two paramedics hostage, Sydney persuades her detective pal to let her interview the guy in return for gathering intel. Inside, Sydney finds the body of her friend, a local insurance executive, who the hostage taker blames for terminating his worker’s comp benefits. Despite the obvious motive, he says he’s being framed for the woman’s murder. Sydney’s investigation uncovers massive identity theft and cyber-embezzlement. Derailing a network of hackers should be routine, except she’s haunted by memories of a Taliban firefight from her time embedded with Marines in Iraq. And when those dark memories bubble up, the only thing holding them at bay is driving fast cars, eating fast food, and swatting fast balls at the batting cage. Eventually, Sydney must rely on her instincts and intellect to prevent further damage.
