Sticks, in Alibi by Teri Woods, was on the edge. He was supposed to be the look-out man but he screwed up. Now three men are dead, Nard is on the run and Sticks does not know what to do. Sticks has to fix things before his boss, Simon Shuller, finds out. So he calls his girl, Daisy.
Twenty-one year old Daisy Mae Fothergill is looking for a break. Working as a stripper is not her idea of a dream job. She is not making enough money to pay the bills; her mother died suddenly and her boyfriend mysteriously disappeared without a trace. When she received a phone call from Sticks asking for a favor for a fee, she jumped at the chance. Now she is being tracked by homicide detectives, drug dealers and the FBI.
Set in 1986, Woods puts in place a very suspenseful story that was fast- paced and fun to read. There were bits of the story that were predictable and slow moving. There were also a few slang references that were out of place for the time period. All in all, I think fans of Woods will be pleased with this story and will look forward to its sequel.
