About this title

Living with her mother after her divorce, business manager Tucker Sinclair works toward a hoped-for partnership by evaluating an expansion scheme, but when she declares the plan unsound, she is accused of someone else's unethical practices, a situation that is worsened when a dead body is discovered on Venice beach. A first novel. 20,000 first printing.

Review:

Full of colorful characters and with a fun and feisty heroine...a real treat. (Janet Evanovich)

Hilarious...Patricia Smiley and her heroine Tucker Sinclair are two of the brightest stars to light up detective fiction in a long time. (Elizabeth George, author of A Place of Hiding)

Reads like the latest in a well-established series...Fans of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum will appreciate the gutsy and klutzy Tucker. (Booklist)

Smiley's prose is like butter....The plot hums along like Tucker in her snazzy Porsche Boxter...an amusing and satisfying read. (Washington Post)
