Thriller P.I.
Growing up in Mississippi, Cici McNair was always more the
tomboy her mother supported than the Southern belle her
father demanded. She escaped her suffocating upbringing the
first chance she had to travel the world. Whether working
at the Vatican in Rome or consorting with a gunrunner in
Haiti, she lived a life of international adventure. When
Cici finds herself in New York, divorced, broke, and
fashionably starving to death in a Madison Avenue
apartment, she impulsively decides to become a private
detective. But, as Cici soon learns, the world of P.I.s is tight-knit
and made up almost exclusively of former law enforcement
officers. By nature, they are a highly suspicious group and
are especially wary of a newcomer with an untraceable past.
Diligently working her way through the Yellow Pages,
doggedly pursuing the slightest lead, Cici is finally hired
by a private investigator willing to take a chance. The
next day she's working side by side with a pair of seasoned
detectives and a skip tracer who is scary to meet but like
silk on the phone. She quickly realizes she'll need all her
energy and wits to succeed in this new world. Being a private investigator is as exciting and liberating
as Cici ever dreamed, from creating a false identity on the
spot on her first case in the field to surviving adrenaline-
rushing car chases. Working with law enforcement, she goes
undercover, dealing with the ruthless Born to Kill gang in
Chinatown and the Middle Eastern counterfeiters west of
Broadway. A detailed account of the hidden world and real-
life cases of a P.I., this action-packed memoir is as
entertaining as any detective novel you've ever read.
