About the Book

| Click to Read an Excerpt |
A Detroit homicide detective, she manages to keep one foot planted in the traditions started by her grandparents, while dealing with crime in the city. She has an uncanny intuition, inherited from her grandmother that she secretly uses to help solve the homicide cases she is assigned to and an odd boyfriend who refuses to grow up, things that further separate her from the world.
Her story winds around tales of her family and the drama all big families generate, while she investigates a murder so despicable that even the most hardened homicide detective is sickened by the details.
The Greeks of Beaubien Street is a modern tale of a family balancing acceptance in American society with old country traditions, while holding on to archaic beliefs. They could be any nationality, but they are Greek.
- “I loved this book from the first page. It is a departure from the Pam of Babylon books, but written in the same way with the characters grabbing my attention and I wanted to keep reading to see what would happen next. I was totally taken by surprise by the twists in the book. I can hardly wait until the next one!” - Reader Review
