Not Today, Dora Ellison Mystery Book 1, PLUS Storm Warnings, A Dora Ellison Prequel. Dora Ellison’s not a cop. She doesn't need to be when the need for revenge is burning hot, the secrets are deep, and she's never going to back down. When Dora’s police officer partner uncovers evidence of a decades-old murder cover-up, Dora is staring down a conspiracy that winds from city hall to the gutters she cleans. Then the nightmare gets personal. When tragedy strikes, Dora’s pain ignites into fury —and nothing can stop her from tearing through the lies, the power, and the men who think they’re untouchable. She hauls trash for a living. Shaped by childhood trauma and carrying a rage she’s fought to bury, Dora has stayed in the shadows. But now, to get justice, she must step into the darkness and become the kind of avenger the city fears. Not Today is unflinching, propulsive mystery featuring a fierce Jewish woman sleuth for readers who crave grit, high stakes, and a heroine who won’t quit—ever. Also included: Storm Warnings, a short story prequel about sweet, 6-year-old Deborah, who survives childhood trauma and is left with a lifelong dark, smoldering rage. She will grow up to be private investigator and martial arts savante, Dora Ellison—a tough lady who solves mysteries, finds love and doles out justice.
