About this listen
It's 1959, and Judy Cooper, the Black Stiletto, sets out to confront a dangerous gangster known as the heroin king of Harlem, when the teenage daughter of her beloved martial arts instructor ends up a prisoner in an uptown narcotics den. The Stiletto has troubles of her own - a shady filmmaker is threatening to reveal her identity to the world - a close friend of her landlord and substitute father may be in cahoots with the Harlem criminals - she's fighting for racial equality - and she has fallen in love again, this time with an FBI agent who has standing orders to arrest her.
Meanwhile the Stiletto's son faces his own blackmail crisis when he finds out that there is a second copy of an 8mm film he found in his mother's strongbox - showing the Black Stiletto unmasked in a film studio dressing room. As he tries to stop the filmmaker's son's extortion plot, he learns that his daughter, Gina, has been brutally assaulted in New York City. The past and the present meet.

Could Martin Talbot's elderly, Alzheimer-stricken mother, Judy, really have been the Black Stiletto? When Martin discovers several volumes of her diaries hidden by his mother, he is stunned beyond all imagination. His mother, the underground heroine of yesteryear? The famed, still unidentified woman who battled Communist spies, took on the Mafia, and preyed on common crooks? The woman who exacted punishment on evildoers without mercy? But it is all described, in great detail, in the diaries. Could it be true? Talbot is filled with doubt and disbelief.

It is 1961 in the fourth audiobook of the Black Stiletto series. Judy, the Stiletto, meets Leo, a charismatic man who convinces her to move to Los Angeles when she is "run out" of New York by increasingly hazardous police heat.

His mysterious sister, Christina, who once served time for armed robbery, could also be a threat to the Stiletto's new life in California.

Thomas Kilbride is a map-obsessed schizophrenic so affected that he rarely leaves the self-imposed bastion of his bedroom. But with a computer program called Whirl360.com, he travels the world while never so much as stepping out the door. He pores over and memorizes the streets of the world. He examines every address, as well as the people who are frozen in time on his computer screen. Then he sees something that anyone else might have stumbled upon - but has not - in a street view of downtown New York City: an image in a window. An image that looks like a woman being murdered.

If you've never read a Repairman Jack novel, this is the place to begin. It's 1990. A twenty-one-year-old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in New York City. Manhattan's rough edges are jagged enough to shred any unwary newcomer, but perhaps not one who is determined to stay off the grid, at any cost, in the busiest metropolis on earth. And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.

Thomas Kilbride is a map-obsessed schizophrenic so affected that he rarely leaves the self-imposed bastion of his bedroom. But with a computer program called Whirl360.com, he travels the world while never so much as stepping out the door. He pores over and memorizes the streets of the world. He examines every address, as well as the people who are frozen in time on his computer screen. Then he sees something that anyone else might have stumbled upon - but has not - in a street view of downtown New York City: an image in a window. An image that looks like a woman being murdered.

If you've never read a Repairman Jack novel, this is the place to begin. It's 1990. A twenty-one-year-old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in New York City. Manhattan's rough edges are jagged enough to shred any unwary newcomer, but perhaps not one who is determined to stay off the grid, at any cost, in the busiest metropolis on earth. And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.

Absolutely hooked!
The voice actors do an amazing job at telling this fascinating story. It's so well written that I've been drawn in deeper with each word. I'm trying to pace myself as I go through the next 3 books in the series. I don't want the story to end yet!

Drug deal in Harlem
This is book two in the Black Stiletto series and it is already evident you must read these books in order. If you did not read Black Stiletto stop and do so before you start this book. This book picks up at the ending of book one. It also goes back and forth between the present day with Martin Talbot vising his mother Judy Cooper Talbot in the nursing home and current events in his life. The other part is 1959 with Judy Cooper telling her diary the newest escapes of the Black Stiletto. In this book she is after a drug dealer in Harlem who has her Japanese martial arts instructor's daughter held drugged in brothel. The dealer is also extorting money from her instructor to return the daughter. Judy goes into action and the problem is bigger and she discovers a crooked FBI agent. Do not let this description fool you the story is far from boring but is action packed, fast moving, some humor and romance, the story just flies. Raymond Benson writes with tight prose and grabs your attention. Martin daughter, Judy's granddaughter is attacked in New York City and is in hospital with a broken jaw. This gets me to wondering if in the future Gina may pick up her grandmother's role. Can not wait for the next book in the series. Book makes a nice relaxing fun read.
