Alley Kat Blues (Kat Colorado)

Kat Colorado's current case is really getting to her. It was she who found the mangled body of a young woman on the road, apparently the victim of a hit-and-run accident. But then the victim's mother turns up in her office asking for help - convinced that her daughter's death was no accident. The more Kat finds out about Courtney (nee Daisy) Dillard, the more disturbed she becomes. It seems that Courtney had deserted her Mormon faith, and depending on whom you speak to, she was either the devil incarnate or an ordinary girl trying to find her way in the world. Suspects abound - from Courtney's fiance, a smart young stockbroker who may be too affable to be true, to her high school boyfriend, a strict believer now risen to power in the Church. In fact, all the men in Courtney's life seemed to see her as no more than an object for them to control.
