Now you're a PI, working the streets your own way. While the past can still haunt you, you take on cases that hit close to home. But every victory comes at a cost. Especially when you come across young women who are vulnerable. Are you ready to pay the price?
Georgia Davis takes on Chicago crimes with determination, guts, and grit. In Easy Innocence, her first homicide case, she finds out how far teen girls will go to gain acceptance from their peers. And how powerful men can make a “heater” case run roughshod over the truth. But Georgia won’t allow herself to be sidelined. Even when she becomes a target.
In her journey through the six thrillers in the series, Georgia hones her skills as a detective. She also begins to heal. Trust. Feel compassion. Who knows? She might even find happiness one day.
Libby Fischer Hellmann left a career in broadcast news in Washington, DC and moved to Chicago a long time ago, where she, naturally, began to write gritty crime fiction. She soon began writing historical fiction as well. Eighteen novels and twenty-five short stories later, she claims they’ll take her out of the Windy City feet first. She has been nominated for many awards in the mystery and crime writing community and has even won a few.
She has been a finalist twice for the Anthony and the Shamus; and four times for Foreword Magazine’s Book of the Year. She has also been nominated for the Agatha, the Daphne, and she won the Chicago Writers Association Book of the Year in 2021. She has won the IPPY, Foreword Magazine’s Indie Awards, and the Readers Choice Award multiple times.
Her latest novel, Max’s War: The Story of a Ritchie Boy, is the little known story of German Jewish immigrants to the US who escaped Hitler and joined the Army to fight Nazis.
Her other novels include the six-volume Ellie Foreman series, which she describes as a cross between “Desperate Housewives” and “24;” the hard-boiled 6-volume Georgia Davis PI series, and five stand-alone historical thrillers set during the Vietnam War, Revolutionary Iran, Cuba, the volatile Sixties, and WW2. Her short stories have been published in a dozen anthologies, the Saturday Evening Post, and Ed Gorman’s “25 Criminally Good Short Stories” collection. Her books have been translated into Spanish, German, Italian, and Chinese. All her books are available in print, ebook, and audiobook formats.
In 2006 she was the National President of Sisters in Crime, a 4000 member organization committed to the advancement of female crime fiction authors.
