Doll Eyes - Rooster Franklin, Bk 4 Author:Randy Russell Hot on the heels of the acclaimed Caught Looking, Alton Benjamin "Rooster" Franklin returns for a fourth caper in Randy Russell's "snappy series." Here, the former car thief is seeking out his first love - and instead finds in her place one very dead look-alike, and a murder rap to boot. — "Let me tell you about women... more »," she says. "We've got doll eyes. The kind that close when you lay the doll down on its back. They open again when you stand the doll up. A woman lays down with a guy, her eyes close. She can't see any fault in the guy." Too bad for Rooster that Rosalinda doesn't see him like that anymore.
But for Rooster, Rosalinda has no faults, eyes open, closed, or just blind. And now he has come back to marry her - and has landed himself smack in the middle of a mystery no one wants, let alone asked for. At least someone wants Rooster, though, because even before he arrives in town, Rosalinda's brother, Marc, fresh from a stay behind bars, wants to settle a score with him. Then there's the dead body in Rosalinda's home, and the clue that leads him to Inside Moves, an upscale art gallery now being run by his elusive love and, shockingly, her new society husband, Joseph Warman. When the two men take an instant dislike to each other, Rooster figures his only way to Rosalinda is to expose her husband for the fake he is. And in his search he finds a few other fakes. Meanwhile, the police are watching his every step, trying to prove he's guilty of murder. Suddenly Rooster's in a lot of trouble for a man who only wants to be in love.« less
