Thriller Crime
Gutsy, relentless, wisecracking Boston P.I. Fina Ludlow is back with her most hard-hitting case yet in the critically acclaimed series by Ingrid Thoft. When soccer mom Liz Barone is attacked in her kitchen and left with a life- threatening injury, Fina Ludlow is hired by LizΓ’β¬β’s mother to identify her attacker. ItΓ’β¬β’s unusual for Fina to take a case that isnΓ’β¬β’t connected to the family firm, Ludlow and Associates, but Liz was in the process of suing her alma mater, New England UniversityΓ’β¬βa suit that could be a legal gold mine. Twenty years earlier, Liz was an NEU soccer star known for her physical toughness; however, a serious cognitive decline has soured her soccer memories. SheΓ’β¬β’s convinced that her aggressive style of playΓ’β¬βand the universityΓ’β¬β’s willingness to ignore head injuries in favor of a winΓ’β¬βhas put her health and her future in jeopardy, and someone needs to be held responsible. Was Liz attacked to stop her lawsuit, or were there other secrets in the seemingly innocent womanΓ’β¬β’s life? Fina convinces her father and boss, Carl, to take the case, and discovers that wading into the financially lucrative and emotionally charged world of collegiate sports requires nerves of steel. As the list of suspects grows and hidden agendas are revealed, Fina wonders if any game is worth the price.
