Landmarked Reviewed   "Leaving Slackerland," is Gay Degani's story of Nikki, a woman living on the fringe and her shady ex-boyfriend. Nikki is someone who wants to put all of this behind her, but first has to remain out of the line of fire. The story is as much about Nikki's growing up as it is about solving a murder.  --ALCC   AUSTIN LAYMAN'S CRIMESTALKER CASEBOOK™  Click here for the site.  To read entire review, select "Book Reviews" from menu, Scroll for Landmarked.
