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 Alessandraβs all grown up, working for a sleazy P.I., repossessing cars, and trolling for waitstaff on the take. The cases arenβt glamorous, or interesting, but the work pays the bills. And sheβs good at itβif thereβs one thing sheβs learned since leaving the streets, itβs how to take care of herself around lifeβs shadier elements. When an Irish mobster named Daniel βMickeyβ Caughlan thinks someone on the inside of his shipping operation is trying to set him up for a fall, itβs Al he wants on the job. Sheβs to find the traitor and report back. But just a little digging shows itβs more complicated than a simple turncoat inside the family; Alβs barely started on the case when she runs into a few tough guys trying to warn her away. Fools. As if a little confrontation wouldnβt make her even more determined.
