This compelling collection of stories by private investigator and award-winning author Susan Waller Lehmann takes readers on her personal journey of casework in the South, from her first process service through domestic situations, to capital murder cases, to the execution of her favorite client.

After an unexpected relocation to rural Alabama, Susan decided to become a private investigator. Using skills honed as a journalist, she landed a job with an agency. Situations arose and she soon set out on her own.

These stories impart universal truths about working as a female PI on emotionally charged and volatile civil and criminal cases. In a deeply conservative society where lies are told and winning matters more than truth, justice is bought and favors the few.
