Dangerous passage / # 1 Southern crimes [large print] / Lisa Harris. Center Point Large Print edition. Thorndike, ME. : Center Point Large Print, 2013. 383 pages. ; 23 cm. Southern crimes ; ; 1 The first book in Harris’ Southern Crimes series introduces Avery North, widowed mother and Atlanta police detective, who comes from a family steeped in police work. Her father and late brother were both officers. As the story begins, she is called in on a case on her day off when a Jane Doe is found with a magnolia tattoo that matches the one found on an earlier victim. Both victims were young Asian women in their teens. It looks like the work of a serial killer. At the scene she sees that the medical examiner assigned to the case is Jackson Bryant, who she has dated a few times and who escorted her to her father’s retirement party. Good police work and forensic detecting lead them to the identity of the second victim and from there into a labyrinth of international criminal activity. The combination of police procedural and a Christian love story is nicely plotted, and the characters are interesting, boding well for the future of the series. 20140122. Women detectives Fiction.
