Normally, pudgy private eye Desiree Shapiro would turn
down
a job no more than she would a second helping of chocolate
mousse. But this case is decidedly unappetizing. Her new
client is powerful crime boss Vito da Silva, and he wants
her to find out who murdered his protégé, political up-and-
comer Frankie Vincent. It’s an offer Desiree can’t refuse.
Venturing into deepest, darkest New Jersey, Dez teams up
with a local police detective and starts digging. It
turns
out Vincent’s squeaky-clean image hid the kind of
character
flaws that would make any number of people delighted to
attend his funeral—including his very attractive wife. To
complicate matters, Desiree fears that as soon as she
identifies the murderer, her client won’t think twice
about
doling out his own form of justice. To catch this killer—
and prevent more mayhem—Desiree is really going to have to
throw her considerable weight around.
