The Commandos by Russell Miller

The Commandos by Russell Miller

The last place police Detective Porter Sienna wanted to investigate a murder was the upper-class neighborhood she grew up.

A prominent local businessman is found dead at the Greensburg Country Club and when police Detective Porter Sienna arrives to investigate, the former debutante is forced to contend with the same people she turned her back on seven years earlier.

Compounding her discomfort, Porter encounters club member Elaine Jessup, whose frank appraisal and direct approach in asking her out both confuses and excites her. Giving in to her own attraction, Porter agrees to have drinks with Elaine, and the result is the beginning of a passionate affair unlike anything she has ever known.

When it is revealed that the death was not natural, Porter unwillingly finds herself investigating the possibility that someone in the elite inner circle of Greensburg society has committed murder. And Porter is disturbed to discover that not only is Elaine among the suspects, but she has unexpected ties to the dead man that make her a very strong one.
