Because February is the month for lovers, I'm giving
away a romantic Fleur de lis Scent Locket in Antique Brass
with a Red Heart-Shaped Swarovski Crystal.
Francesca "Franki" Amato is a tough-talking
rookie cop in Austin, Texas—until an unfortunate 911
call involving her boyfriend, Vince, and a German female
wrestler convinces her once and for all that she just isn't
cut out for a life on the police force. So Franki makes the
snap decision to move to New Orleans to work at her friend
Veronica's detective agency, Private Chicks, Inc. But
Franki's hopes for a more stable life are soon dashed when
Private Chicks is hired by the prime suspect in a murder
case to find out what really happened to a beautiful young
boutique manager who was found strangled to death with a
cheap yellow scarf.
When she's not investigating, Franki is
hoping to seduce handsome bank executive Bradley Hartmann,
but most of her time is spent dodging date offers from a
string of "good Italian boys"—make that not-so-good
aging Italian men—that her meddlesome Sicilian grandma
has recruited as marriage candidates. As Mardi Gras
approaches and the mystery of the murdered shop girl gets
more complicated, Franki must decipher the odd ramblings of
a voodoo priestess to solve both the murder and the mystery
of her own love life.
