I've finished the first novel in the Jacinta Joseph trilogy about a kick-ass NJ detective who goes back to the Caribbean island where she was born and decides to clean up the local mafia-like families that run the island.
The Carib's Smile tells the story of Jacinta's return to St. Theresa, her involvement in solving four murders, and the confusion that follows as she and her whole family go into hiding to avoid being killed while pursuing the killers. It's a romantic comedy--go figure. It's available now.
The Judge's Wife is about the aftermath of the first book. The book will be out very soon--before spring 2012. Jacinta is now involved in a revolution led by the island's grandmothers. Great fun with lots of chaos--and still a romantic comedy.
The third book, The Money Laundered, is just in the planning stages. It has to do with the outcome of the revolution. I'd have her riding into the sunset but it's an island so that doesn't really work.
Thanks for reading,
Ron
