CRAZY APPLES - the original in the Thunder McCloud series.
Romantic frolicking, murderous wickedness, deceptive masquerades, and filthy riches are plentiful between private psychiatric appointments and witty spiritual sessions with God as Thunder McCloud struggles with a never-ending inner rage.
Thunder McCloud is a spoiled, Southern woman who is still hampered from her overprotected childhood. Wanting to "correct" some memorable moments, she begins a personal war by arming herself with 13 boxes of Sophie Mae's peanut brittle candy, an 18-speed bicycle with training wheels, and a red Corvette. Never having a job, but wanting to experience the sensation of driving to and from a major office, she sets off.
Meanwhile, a cunning killer is knocking off a number of attractive women on Valentine's Day. Spanning over a three-year period, the meticulous planning and revenge seem to be working. Louisville Homicide Detectives Chris Cross and Rob Banks aren't having any success in solving the crimes.
