"Stephanie Plum, meet Saylor Oz...."(New York Times bestselling author Susan Elizabeth Phillips) A new novel featuring a downtown-Brooklyn sex therapist whose caseload includes the occasional murder.

Against the backdrop of Brooklyn's waterfront neighborhood known as DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass), the height-challenged and warmhearted oddball, Brooklyn sex therapist Saylor Oz, who bore the horrendous high school nickname, The Munchkin, keeps finding herself knee deep in danger. BABYDOLL is a crime adventure filled with urban characters and wacky, over the top humor.

Three fashion models shot in the head execution style. A burned out porn actress with a grudge. A pretty boy Irish illegal who's good with a knife. A high-powered defense attorney with a mean streak. And a young Nuyorican artist doing time at Rikers for a murder he didn't commit.

In the last three months, three models have been found dead around New York City, each with a lock of hair missing. It would be just another tabloid headline to Saylor Oz—except that her best friend Benita's brother stands accused. Saylor is convinced someone is reenacting the events of an old movie called Bad, Bad Babydoll. But no one else thinks so—not even the sexy P.I. on the case. Undeterred, Saylor and Benita must infiltrate the modeling world and put themselves in harm's way.

Leave it to Saylor to connect the dots leading to the real killer . . . but not before she becomes the next target.
