Missing bearer bonds, a family tragedy, arson, and murder—it’s all in a day’s work for Sharon McCone.

Settled into their new home after they lost their house in a fire and fully established in their new shared offices, private investigator Sharon McCone and her business partner husband Hy are finally starting to feel comfortable. That calm is shattered when Hy’s former colleague Gage Renshaw—a shady troublemaker who they presumed dead—reappears, and it’s unclear what he wants from his prosperous former associate. Meanwhile, Sharon has a new client with a desire to get rid of the derelict house that’s disturbing the local homeowners’ association. However, the abandoned house holds its share of secrets, and soon Sharon is contending with more than a simple eyesore as she searches for the individual who is obsessed with destroying her life.

“There’s no subtlety in the plot, characters, or narration. Laura Hicks reflects McCone’s brash “in-your-face” attitude in her dealings with friends, clients, and strangers alike. She and her husband/business partner have finally re-established their home and private detective agency office after a fire uprooted them when her former partner, thought to be dead, appears to cause trouble. Hicks introduces a few glimpses of vulnerability at appropriate places but generally proceeds full-steam-ahead, leaving no doubt that McCone intends to take matters in hand.”— AudioFile
