The only catch? Tyler is seventeen years old. Even Candace draws the line at taking out a target who doesn't even shave yet.<br/><br/>But when Tyler turns up dead at a river gorge with a broken neck, people start asking questions. Detective Chien-Shiung Malone, the ambitious homicide investigator assigned to the case, has more than a few of her own. Candace isn't about to provide any answers, though -- until Malone makes her a proposition she just can't refuse. Candace finds herself signing on as Malone's unofficial partner to help catch Tyler's killer ... despite the possibility she may have murdered the boy herself.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A cold and gripping crime novel that could have been written in 1940--Margaret Cannon "Globe and Mail"<br><br>A tough, deadly type who just might surprise you.-- "Kirkus Reviews"<br><br>Darkly hilarious and brilliantly plotted.-- "Elka Ray, author of Saigon Dark"<br><br>O'Cinneide gets this quirky series off to a fine start, and Candace is just the kind of oddly charismatic character to keep it going in high style.-- "Booklist"<br><br>Scalding, irreverent, endlessly surprising -- Candace Starr will make you laugh out loud while knocking your morality just slightly askew.
