“Great Summer Read! Well written and researched, “Dead by My Side” has something for everyone. A hot detective with a long legged beauty of a ghost as a partner. A crime fighting duo on the trail of a serial killer. The book is a creative twist on the genre that kept me turning the pages. Fun read! ”

Here’s the set-up:
Sacramento, Calif. – Julia and Tony, homicide detectives for more than twelve years, make quite the pair with her long legs and his rugged good looks. They’re an unstoppable team, both fiercely loyal to friends, family and each other. But when Julia is killed in the line of duty, Tony is left alone to pick up the pieces in Gloria Galloway’s thriller, “Dead By My Side.” While Tony is getting used to work as a solo detective, Julia’s spirit appears to him. He tries to ignore this ghost-like version, but it soon becomes clear that his late partner won’t disappear until he agrees to join forces again. Now, with his spirit sidekick in tow, Tony faces one of the most difficult challenges of his career: a sadistic killer on the loose. Julia and Tony must put a stop to the rising body count and learn to lean on one another, even after death. Author and screenwriter Ron Montana calls Galloway’s debut novel: “fast paced, unique, intriguing and a great read for lovers of crime fiction. It’s my kind of story so I’m in negotiation with her to write the screen play.”
One Reviewer Notes:
“I loved this book so much that I read it in three days! I think my family got tired of hearing “Just one more page I swear!” Yes it was that good! Now I’m running around suggesting it to all of my reader friends. I had fun trying to piece together the clues to try and figure out who the killer was and why they were killing. Trust me when I tell you that it was so much better than any conclusion I came to in my head. Gave me the chills. Bravo Ms. Galloway! I can’t wait to see what else you’ve got up your sleeve!! ”

“Homicide detectives Tony and Julia have been partners for over twelve years. Julia is more than just long legs in a pair of Jimmy Choo’s. Tony’s sharp-shooting skills and rugged good looks are a perfect complement to Julia’s quick mind and natural beauty. Not only do they make a great team, they are damn good at their jobs. When Julia is killed in the line of duty, Tony is left to pick up the pieces of his life. Then Julia shows up in his bathroom. As Tony bemoans Julia’s lack of paranormal powers, they team up to solve crime. They will face the most difficult challenge of their careers; a sadistic killer is on the hunt. As the body count rises, they will have to rely on each other and their combined experience to end the slaughter of young women. Dead By My Side is fast paced and gripping. You won’t want to put it down! The book is well written with dialog that reads like a script. The author has created unique characters that draw you into the story, and make you root for their success. It is clear that a lot of research went into the book. The realism of the law enforcement procedures pays fitting tribute to our heroes in blue. “
