Description:
The Fallen Angels Book Club has only two requirements: the members must love books and have a white-collar criminal record. Hollis Morgan fits the bill.
Brief description: R. Franklin James grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and graduated from the University of California at Berkeley. As a UC Berkeley grad, she cultivated a different type of writing-legislation and public policy. After a career of public advocacy and serving as Deputy Mayor for the City of Los Angeles, she went back to her first love-writing.
Review Quotes:
"Who is Hollis Morgan? Under this name she's building a life around her job as a paralegal and her volunteer work at a senior center. Her personal life centers on a monthly book club whose other members share her secret-they've all served prison time for white-collar felonies. When two murders put her on the suspect list, Hollis must find the connections that place her at the center of the web of lies, and clear her name before she loses her chance for a pardon. Twists and turns keep this debut novel exciting to the surprising end!"
