Amanda S. Holiday Releases ONE FOR AN OLD FRIEND

Amanda S. Holiday introduces readers to a unique protagonist in her new murder mystery, "One for an Old Friend: revised edition" (published by iUniverse).

"One for an Old Friend" follows the adventures of Michelle "Mickie" Stevens, a retired police detective formerly known as Steven Michaels. Mickie, a male-to-female transsexual now living as a woman, meets an old friend, Norma, in a waterfront dive bar in response to her call for help. Norma has uncovered information that winds up getting her killed, and Mickie is drawn into pursuit of the villain.

Mickie's search leads her to a sociopath who runs a white slavery ring responsible for the disappearance of college coeds. Readers will find suspense, thrills and action and meet a memorable cast of characters that include a private detective, a police homicide detective and a medically retired Master Chief Petty Officer.

An excerpt from "One for an Old Friend":

"Clearly, this was a hangout for the working class of the docks, but that didn't make it the worst place in the world either. I framed a new lead for the story. At worst, it could open a later article. 'Perhaps unsavory characters mingle with working stiffs, as in all such rough places, but this is no den of international intrigue despite its location on the docks. Rather, this is a blue collar bar, peopled by those who work and live in a rough neighborhood. It showcases ships that ride at anchor in the harbor near, or still proudly sail in its patrons' hearts and memories dear.'"
