SHOOTING AT MIDNIGHT Bridgett Logan is nobody's darling—a tough New York City private investigator with a powerful but estranged father, a nose ring, a bad attitude, and a history she doesn't talk about—not even to some time lover, Atticus Kodiak. When Bridgett's friend Lisa has been accused of killing an abusive drug dealer and pimp, Bridgett is forced to face her past. For it seems the only way to solve the murder and prove Lisa innocent is to go undercover as a dealer herself. And while gaining acceptance into a gang of hardened criminals won't be easy, it will be child's play for Bridgett compared with constantly being around the seductive white powder her body still craves.
