The Edgar Award-winning author of tough, street-smart crime novels returns after more than a two-year hiatus with Thursday's Child. A 15-year-old who hates living with his conservative movie mogul grandfather in Beverly Hills decides to run away, but his lack of street sense lands him in a deadly situation.

About the Author:
Teri White is an American mystery writer. Her first novel, Triangle, garnered the Edgar Award for Best Paperback Original Mystery Novel in 1983. She has also written under the pseudonym Stephen Lewis.
From Publishers Weekly:
White ( Fault Lines ) won an Edgar for her first novel, but here she misses by far. Gar Sinclair, forced to retire from the LAPD when crippled by a gun wound, is now a PI eking out a living tracing missing children in Hollywood. He's hired by millionaire movie mogul Saul Epstein to find his 15-year-old grandson, Beau, who, having been uprooted from the jungles of Central America when his parents were killed, hates his grandfather and the glitz of Tinseltown. The other, almost unconnected strand of plot concerns hired killer Robert Turchek, who needs lots of cash to keep his invalid younger brother in a convalescent home. Sinclair's hunt for Beau generates little suspense, even when a bungled murder attempt by Turchek puts several characters on a collision course. And labored prose slows the narrative even more.
