Book Description by Author:

WISE-CRACKING, street-smart private-eye Evan Buckley’s not used to getting something for nothing. So when an unexpected windfall lands in his lap, he’s intrigued. Not least because he can’t think what he’s done to deserve it.

Written off by the police as one more sad example of mindless street crime, Evan feels honor bound to investigate, driven by his need to give satisfaction to a murdered woman he never knew. As he digs deeper he finds himself in the midst of a murder that’s stranger than most.

As the mystery unravels Evan discovers there’s no breaking the ties that bind families together even in the face of an impossible dilemma.
