A teenage runaway from the Brownsville projects, Alessandra Martillo lived with an indifferent aunt who had taken her in when her mother killed herself, and later, after more than a year on the streets, a caring uncle found her, took her in, and showed her she had a chance. That was many years ago, and now Alessandraโs all grown up, working for a sleazy P.I., repossessing cars, and trolling for waitstaff on the take. The cases arenโt glamorous, or interesting, but the work pays the bills. And sheโs good at itโif thereโs one thing sheโs learned since leaving the streets, itโs how to take care of herself around lifeโs shadier elements. When an Irish mobster named Daniel โMickeyโ Caughlan thinks someone on the inside of his shipping operation is trying to set him up for a fall, itโs Al he wants on the job. Sheโs to find the traitor and report back. But just a little digging shows itโs more complicated than a simple turncoat inside the family; Alโs barely started on the case when she runs into a few tough guys trying to warn her away. Fools. As if a little confrontation wouldnโt make her even more determined.
