Meet Casey Jones -- an unlicensed, no-nonsense private detective
who hides 160 pounds of muscle with an in-your-face femme fatale
style. She's bold, she's bad and, most of all she's nobody's fool.
Underneath her wisecracking 100% Southern exterior, there beats a
14-carat heart with a definite soft spot for life's losers. With
the brains to take on any challenge and the guts to impose her own
brand of justice, Casey Jones has what it takes to be your best
friend-or your very worst enemy. This time around, Casey takes on a
case that batters her once-sturdy body and threatens to expose her
closest held secret. When her investigation into the case of a
woman on death row sets her at odds with her hometown police force,
Casey quickly learns the true blue friends aren't necessarily clad
in blue. One by one, bodies begin to fall, while Casey holds her
ground. She must race to uncover the truth before more people die
and before she takes the rap for their murders. With the help of an
unlikely pair of bloodhounds and even more unlikely allies, Casey
battles back to reclaim her clients life and her own, and to set a
trap for a very clever killer before time runs out. 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.
