"Smart, page-turning fun, with the most feisty and likable P.I. since Kinsey Millhone. Looking for your next favorite detective series? Look no further" (Deb Caletti, National Book Award finalist and author of He's Gone).

Meet PI Edwina "Eddie Shoes" Schultz. Right now, she's on a typical job, parked outside a seedy Bellingham hotel, photographing her quarry as he kisses his mistress goodbye. But the job is about to get complicated—because this is the last time anyone sees the woman alive. After her body is found in an abandoned building, Eddie's client, Kendra Hallings, disappears. Eddie hates getting stiffed on a fee, but she wonders if Kendra is in trouble too . . . or if she's the killer.
Suddenly, Eddie is knee-deep in dangerous business, spurred on by her thrill-seeking, card-counting mother Chava who just got kicked out of Vegas. It couldn't be a worse time for a reunion, but when Chava's unique skill set proves useful, Eddie can't help but let her tag along. Also on the case is Detective Chance Parker, new to Bellingham's Major Crimes Unit . . . and Eddie's ex. It's one more complication Eddie doesn't need on a job that could get her killed. But no one said this business was easy . . .
