A Debut Novel by Jeri Estes

STUDIO CITY, CALIFORNIA - March 29, 2010 - For those who thought they knew San Francisco in the 1960's, venture into the underworld of The Tenderloin with author Jeri Estes.  The TL was a Lady of the Night, wrapped in stilettos and steel.  Her dark code whispered through the misty streets. "Our bodies are a commodity.  Sex is our currency.  Everyday we fight for survival."  Beneath the glitz of her high heels lay the cold steel of a switch-blade. http://kurtkelly.blogspot.com/2010/04/stilettos-and-steel.html
