The Bait (1968)
The Witness (1969)
The Ledger (1970)
aka "The Christie Opara Trilogy" by Dorothy Uhnak
Another series I've been promising myself to read for years.
The Bait was filmed in 1973 as a telemovie/rejected pilot starring Donna Mills, while The Ledger became the successful 1974 pilot for Get Christie Love! starring Teresa Graves.
The physical description - blonde, blue-green-grey eyes, petite - fits Mills more than Graves, but in both cases the name and other details were changed so neither was really playing Christie Opara as such.
The books have dated somewhat - at times reading, as you might expect, like a 70s cop show - but are well-plotted, and the themes of gender and racial inequity still resonate.
