Stalking Season Maryann Miller

Stalking Season is a police procedural in the vein of the acclaimed 87th Precinct Series by Ed McBain, (Evan Hunter) and has been called "Lethal Weapon" with female leads set in Dallas.
In this second book of The Seasons Mystery Series, Homicide Detective Sarah Kingsly and her partner, Angel Johnson are pitted against another uncanny killer while still struggling to feel like real partners. Neither wanted the pairing in the first place, and it isn't getting any better.
When a young girl is killed in a cheap motel and her identity is discovered, an influential Dallas businessman brings the heat down on the department. The investigation takes the detectives inside an exclusive gentleman's club, a prestigious private school, and leads to a killer that nobody suspected.
** REVIEWS **
"Miller spins a tight tale that's a cut above the average police procedural.... Readers will want to see more of these engaging female cops." Publisher's Weekly.
"Open Season is a solid police procedural with fully developed characters and provocative social issues." L. J. Sellers, author of the Detective Jackson Mysteries
"Detectives Sarah Kingsly and Angel Johnson are crisply drawn characters. The hard-edged story of racial tension in Dallas could be drawn from today's headlines. Open Season is a smart, spirited page-turner." Bruce Cook Tommy Gun Tango
STARRED Publishers Weekly Review " . . . gripping second mystery featuring Dallas, Tex., police detectives Sarah Kingsly and Angel Johnson. . . . The relationship between the women is just as absorbing as the search for the killer. Few readers will anticipate the closing twist."
"So deftly plotted and paced that, although it's certainly possible to grow impatient with the protagonists' unwarranted impatience toward each other, they're appealing enough to keep the pages turning." Kirkus
