12 Bliss Street

Nicola is having a really bad day. She’s tired of her job, her boss, and even her San Francisco apartment, which she s just heard she s being evicted from anyway. Her life s only excitement is fueled by fantasy about the expensive lingerie she wears under her business suits, about a man she sees at lunch every day, a darkly handsome man she calls Chorizo, after the kind of pizza he orders. She s flat out tired of her life, and nothing brings it home more than running into her annoying but harmless ex husband, Scooter, on the way to work. But if ever anyone learns a lesson in be careful what you wish for, it s Nicola, because suddenly her life seems to be full of excitement. First she gets kidnapped after kickboxing class by two inept teenagers who, it turns out, aren t your garden variety ransom kidnappers at all. But before she can resolve this situation, her innocent flirtation with Chorizo turns sinister. Suddenly Nicola s problem is no longer how to survive her boredom but how to survive, period. All in all, Martha Conway s debut is a deliciously hip, sexy, and suspenseful crime novel.
