Mystery Private Eye
Quinn, a sharp-tongued private investigator in Seattle
who’s been busy waving goodbye to her philandering husband
while fanning her hot flashes with her other hand, has
just bumped into a case that threatens to expose the
compassionate heart beneath her hard-boiled
exterior.
A fifteen-year-old named Danny has
suffered hideous abuse at the hands of his twisted
parents, and now he’s battling a life-threatening illness.
Danny’s saga has been turned into a bestselling memoir
that is about to be adapted into a made-for-TV movie. The
screenwriter, Alex Krapp, has talked to the weak,
reclusive Danny only over the phone. But now a cynical
reporter who believes that the kid doesn’t exist is about
to put his suspicions in print. Can Quinn find and
vindicate Danny before he dies?
Quinn is not only
moved by the tale but a little attracted to Krapp himself.
And yet something seems strange. Why does the story have
so many similarities to her high-profile murder case, and
why has Krapp hired her? While Quinn gets in touch with
her feminine side, her suspicions force her to keep one
hand on her Smith & Wesson LadySmith.
