Little Joe is a different kind of detective . His mother was a prostitute. He never knew his father. He was raised in a brothel. "The Girls"' as he affectionately called them, were his playmates, his babysitters, and the only family he ever knew. But that was enough. There was plenty of love to go around. Now the matriarch of this kind menagerie was dead. Joe was determined to find out who and why.
