The Dangerous Edge of Things

Tai Randolph thinks inheriting a Confederate-themed gun shop is her biggest headache—until she finds a murdered corpse in her brother's driveway. Even worse, her supposedly respectable brother begins behaving in decidedly non-innocent ways, like fleeing to the Bahamas and leaving her with both a homicide in her lap and the pointed suspicions of the Atlanta Police Department directed her way. Suddenly, she has to worry about clearing her own name, not just that of her wayward sibling.

Complicating her search for answers is Trey Seaver, field agent for Phoenix, an exclusive corporate security firm hired to investigate the crime. Seaver is fearless, focused, and utterly impervious to bribes, threats, and clever deceptions. Still in recovery from the car accident that left him cognitively and emotionally damaged, Seaver has constructed a world of certainty and routine. He has powerful people to answer to, and the last thing he wants is an unpredictable stranger "detecting" on Phoenix turf.

Tai's inquiry leads her from the cold-eyed glamour of Atlanta's adult-entertainment scene to the gilded treachery of Tuxedo Road. Potential suspects abound, including violent stalkers, vengeful sisters, and a paparazzo with a taste for meth. But it takes another murder—and threats to her own life—to make Tai realize that to solve this crime she has to trust the most dangerous man she's ever met.

      Starred review from November 29, 2010
      Set in Atlanta, Whittle's tight, suspenseful debut introduces Tia Randolph, a recent Savannah transplant, who has the misfortune to discover a young woman shot to death in a car parked across the street from the house of her psychologist brother, Eric, who left that morning for a cruise to the Bahamas and whose business card was found in the victim's car. Though Tia doesn't know the woman, the police regard her and her brother with interest because they recently inherited a family gun store in Kennesaw. While the cops and a private security firm attempt to solve the murder, Tia investigates on her own. She soon realizes that not only is the Randolph name in jeopardy, but her own life is at stake. Mystery fans will welcome wisecracking characters that aren't trite and a twisting plot that isn't tired.
