The Lt. Kate Gazzara series follows a Chattanooga police lieutenant through 24 cases published between 2017 and 2026. Many books are titled with women’s names — Jasmine, Saffron, Sapphire, Cassandra, Victoria, Genevieve — which refer to victims or key figures in each case rather than to Gazzara herself.
The series shares its Chattanooga setting with Howard’s Harry Starke books, giving readers two different perspectives on crime in the same city. Gazzara works within the police system while Starke operates outside it, and the contrast between the two protagonists is part of what makes Howard’s crime fiction world rich.
