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 Alessandra’s all
grown up, working for a sleazy P.I., repossessing cars,
and trolling for waitstaff on the take. The cases aren’t
glamorous, or interesting, but the work pays the bills.
And she’s good at it—if there’s one thing she’s learned
since leaving the streets, it’s how to take care of
herself around life’s shadier elements. When an Irish mobster named Daniel “Mickey” Caughlan
thinks someone on the inside of his shipping operation is
trying to set him up for a fall, it’s Al he wants on the
job. She’s to find the traitor and report back. But just
a little digging shows it’s more complicated than a
simple turncoat inside the family; Al’s barely started on
the case when she runs into a few tough guys trying to
warn her away. Fools. As if a little confrontation
wouldn’t make her even more determined.
