What happens when you combine the pulp novels of Shell Scott and Ann Bannon? You get a butch P.I. that possesses the bad-assery men wish they had and the sex appeal women want. Critically acclaimed hardboiled crime writer Christa Faust created Butch Fatale as the antithesis to the classic Femme Fatale archetype. “The attractive villainess who uses her sexuality to control and manipulate men has been done to death a thousand times,” says Faust.

To explore the idea of Butch Fatale, Faust is writing a new series starring a fast-talking, skirt-chasing, two-fisted lesbian PI with an insatiable appetite for two things: women and trouble.

The first book in the series, Double D Double Cross, launches as an e-book original today! It is available for Kindle, Nook and all other E-readers. Check out this excerpt from Faust’s latest book:

When the tattooed tomato walked into my shabby Echo Park office, I had no idea if she was gonna kiss me or slap me. I was hoping for the former, but betting on the latter.
