Street-lit queen Teri Woods moves into crime thrillers with her latest novel. Daisy Mae lives a hard life with an ailing single mother, supporting them both by working as a naked exotic dancer. When her sometime-boyfriend, a drug dealer, asks her to provide an alibi for a “soldier” who was recently caught in a holdup gone bad, she readily agrees to do it for $2,000. Little does she know that her lie can never be left behind. Woods writes with feeling and a strong sense of her Philadelphia setting; in addition, her characters manage to become more than just the stereotypes they initially appear to be. Fast-paced and exciting, Alibi is an action-filled story about the desperate life of one urban girl and the consequences of trying to break away. Woods’ following will snap this up, but it can find a wider audience with thriller readers who liked George Pelecanos’ The Turnaround (2008) and with fans of the urban crime drama The Wire.
