Chicago’s Pants On Fire Detective Agency targets liars and
cheats. But PI
Cat DeLuca is once again up to her smokin’ skinny jeans
in murder. Cat is
out running in a neighborhood park when she crashes over
the faceless body
of Bernie Love. Bernie was the finance guy to the scary
Provenza family,
with whom he grew up. And friend to Cat’s shady,
Ferrari-wheeling-cop Uncle
Joey. As she hauls out her phone, Cat is assaulted by
someone with a Rolex,
stun gun, and wheelbarrow. When the cops show up, the
killer is gone. And
so is the body. Captain Bob, a stickler for habeas
corpus, blows off Cat’s
story. Stung by a chorus of snickers from the Ninth
Precinct, home base for
DeLuca men, Cat vows to make her case and goes after
Rolex man. The
murderer, desperate to silence the only person who can
place him at the
park, comes after Cat. She’s quickly on a collision
course with the
deadliest adversary she’s ever encountered—but she has
the help of her
beagle partner, her gun-happy assistant, an ex-spy (or
two), and her
outrageous, interfering Italian family. Meanwhile her
hot, FBI-boyfriend
seems sidelined in Vegas. In BYE, BYE, LOVE, K.J. Larsen
delivers another
nail-biting tale rife with unexpected plot twists, zany
characters,
fabulous food, and laugh-out-loud humor.
