ABOUT ALIBI:
Where were you on the night in question? Revolved around an inquiry echoed on crime dramas like Law & Order and CSI, ALIBI (Grand Central Publishing Hardcover; $21.99; August 11, 2009) is a tangled tale of a botched robbery gone horribly wrong. The plan seems easy to two stick-up kids: rob one of the stash houses of notorious drug dealer Simon Shuller. Get in and get out. But getting out proves to be deadly when a shootout ensues and one of Shuller’s henchman Nard is the only man left standing. Dead bodies and possible witnesses means he needs an alibi.  Enter young and sassy Daisy, a stripper desperate for a better life far from Philly’s fast streets. She is tired of using her body to survive, and to make matters worse, her mother just died and she can’t afford a proper burial. When a shady boyfriend offers her a sizable amount of cash to provide one of his buddies with an alibi, Daisy only sees easy money. But when bodies start turning up around the city of brotherly love, and the FBI starts hunting her, Daisy decides to run before her time runs out. Like Nard, she’ll also learn that getting out can be fatal. No one can be trusted. Bloodshed spills into the streets. Authorities want to catch everyone involved. It’s a recipe for gritty drama that only Woods can deliver. Marking her hardcover debut, the former legal secretary turned author writes with the suspense and ingenuity of a crime novelist and has crafted a literary adrenaline rush for mystery, thriller, and urban fiction fans alike. Following in the footsteps of her True to the Game trilogy, ALIBI is a story that’s bound to continue her successful track record with an ever-growing readership.
