Linda Barnes’s A Trouble of Fools is
the book that introduced readers to ex-Boston cop and PI
Carlotta Carlyle, who knows trouble when she sees it like
the old Irish lady offering a grand in cash to find her
brother...
TROUBLE… Since being
bounced from the Boston police for insubordination after
six years of service, Carlotta Carlyle has set up shop as
a private investigator ready to deal with anything from
lost pets to substantially grander larcenies. Though
Carlotta, a six-foot-tall, redheaded ex cop, part-time
cabbie, and neophyte private eye, works out of her home,
it’s rare that clients stop by unannounced. Especially
clients like the genteel, reserved, elderly spinster Miss
Margaret Devens.
ALWAYS COMES… With cash
flow problems and a caseload so light that she’s taken to
reading her cat’s mail, Carlotta accepts the case of Miss
Devens’s missing brother Eugene. Oddly enough, Carlotta
knew Eugene when they worked together back at Green and
White Cab. As far as Carlotta sees it, this case should be
a pinch—until two thugs looking for money send her client
to the hospital.
WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT…
The old lady’s missing brother seems to have been
involved in something much more dangerous than simply
driving a cab. Carlotta is determined to do whatever it
takes?work the cops, pose as a hooker, and even drive a
cab again—to find Eugene before it’s too late.
