In book one of the Detective Malone series, follow local PI Mal through the suburbs of Chicago, slinging back coffee, and avoiding the local mafia. Mystery readers of Janet Evanovich and Stephanie Bond will love this fast-paced, humorous, and lighthearted romp. Unable to conform to the police academy, Detective “Mal” Malone steps out on her own to open her own private investigator agency in Chicago. Juggling caseloads, a missing persons case puts her in the cross-hairs of the local mafia. She has the training, but only limited resources to get the job done. Stumbling upon a crime she can’t ignore, even if it doesn’t fund her ten-cup-a-day coffee addiction, a handsome fire captain stands between her and a solid lead. Unlikely new friendships offer her much-needed information, but to protect them, she has to find evidence to throw the book at a local gangster. If Mal can’t crack the case soon, she’ll not only fail at keeping her friends safe, but she could soon become the target herself.
