Don't mess with North Carolina's Casey Jones - smart mouth ex-con,
unlicensed PI and reluctant partner to a Barry White wannabe.
Casey's big and bad, with attitude to match her altitude.
Especially when she's been double-crossed. At first, Casey proves a
sucker for the fragile blonde who claims her estranged husband has
disappeared with their child. But when Casey locates the fugitive
spouse a little too easily, she begins to suspect that the lovely
Tawny Bledsoe has played her for a fool. Especially when Casey gets
stiffed on the fee, then finds herself embroiled in a murder case
with Tawny's name written all over it. Bad check in hand and a bad
taste in her mouth, Casey resolves to stop Tawny once and for all,
but the battle quickly turns personal with Tawny proves more than a
match for the the irrepressible Casey. Ego rattled, Casey laces up
her high-tops to track her nemesis to Florida for a Saturday night
cat fight. Casey must leave her sweet-and-sour southern ways far
behind in order to prove that Tawny Bledsoe is one bad to the bone
babe who belongs behind bars - no matter what it takes to bring her
down. From Publishers Weekly: Raleigh, N.C., gumshoe, 160-pound
Casey Jones (first introduced in Legwork) has more than her usual
hassles. Her current beau, a cop, is berating her for agreeing to
look for evidence that could overturn a woman's death sentence. The
woman supposedly killed her husband, another cop. Not only does
Casey run smack into several police departments who won't help her,
but someone tries to kill her. And whenever she seems close to
getting a break on the case, she turns up near a dead body and the
police are certain she's involved. All the while, Casey tries to
fortify herself with doughnuts, fried chicken and just about
anything else, at least until she can sort out her case and her
love life. Casey's size and tough manner belie her Southern roots;
in fact, she wants a man to wait on her and woo her but only on her
terms. (I've kept telling him that he's going to have to kiss my
.45 caliber ass for the next twenty years in order to atone.) The
atmosphere is thick with greasy foods and pervasive corruption, but
Casey makes this is a delightfully funny read, perfect for a rainy
afternoon or long train ride.
