Man Eater: Karma Wears Versace IIUnder the chandelier of a ritzy hotel, Sawyer is torn between two roles. She''s the loving wife on a romantic evening with her husband, yet she''s the kick-butt homicide detective on a case, with one eye tracking the development of a murder plot involving Chosen, the vixen killer that nearly destroyed Sawyer''s marriage.Meanwhile, Detective Travis protects a corporate whistle-blower from international mercenaries, and Duke''s corpse is hours away from being discovered digesting in the belly of the anaconda - all this, and Sawyer has yet to be assigned the perplexing homicide case of a young black woman''s murder that is at the crux of all the head scratching crimes plaguing Atlanta. This case, Sawyer takes personally because of how the media disrespects the young black woman in death, so Sawyer is not only out for justice, but to also to put some respect on this young, black female victim''s name, when Sawyer learns that the injustice behind this young lady''s death is much bigger than she thought. The ante is up higher than ever, yet Sawyer still has to be an excellent mother and a wife. Failure would have cataclysmic social consequences.Sawyer is not the only one in a fight for her life. This time around, all will not be spared.

Atlanta doesn’t have room for both an incomparable serial killer and the phenomenal homicide detective, Aisha Sawyer. The showdown is set with the killer’s first feat: murder by viral disease, contaminating a hip hop icon and a med student. The investigation sends Sawyer and her whole-snack partner after a logical mark, a surgeon with motive and the resume to fit the crime. Sawyer, however, defies logic and her sergeant.Her investigative mojo is entrenched in the maternal instinct that makes woman the more advanced gender and Sawyer a more advanced detective. She probes the hip hop side of the double murder where shady outliers present unexpected twists. All the while, the death toll rises. The killer’s only clue is the common immoral trait the victims share; this killer is a vigilante – the victims’ karma returning to settle the books.To preserve the rule of law, Detective Sawyer wields her black girl magic like the Jedi force, not only for Lady Justice, but against her provocative sister, Karma, who ultimately sets her sights upon Sawyer, for what she too must atone.
