Description:

Wine, women, and song. What could possibly go wrong?

Meet Maxine Leverman, lover of expensive shoes, beautiful handbags, and her lingerie wearing ex-husband's hush money. When she pleads her way into a job at family run Lost and Found Investigations, Maxine's only goal is to gain the concealed carry license and PI skills she needs to find the man who attacked her, and then kill him. (Or maybe just put him in jail, that decision can wait.)

But when she secretly takes a missing husband case on her first day at the agency, she stumbles into a high-stakes game of blackmail and murder. Maxine must unravel the links between a forgotten folk punk band, an international drug cartel, and the tangled history of the missing husband to keep the women in his life alive.

Fans of the early Stephanie Plum novels and Stuart Woods' Holly Barker series will love Maxine's tenacity, grit, and lust for life. **

Review

"The writing is taut, tough, and the stuff of poetry... Simply put, nobody writes about the foibles of small town crime as well or any better than Gae-Lynn Woods. She sets the standard, then lives up to it." -- (Amazon Review) Award Winning Author Caleb Pirtle III

"This is the fun side of Gae-Lynn's writing and if you are a fan of Cass Elliot, you won't be sorry you selected this book for a light read... Enter private detective "Maxine Leverman", who would drive me absolutely crazy if I were her boss, and who would lead me down the road to perdition if I were her friend. In either case, Forney County isn't quite ready for a gun-carrying, badge toting Maxine, and her best friend Cass has her hands full keeping the lovely lady out of trouble and away from danger." -- (Amazon Review) Daniel C. Chamberlain, bestselling author of The Long Shooters , Battle of Fortune Wells , and An Abduction Affair.
