Dirty Deeds and Secrets
(2019)(The first book in the Grace Powers Mystery series)
A novel by Wendy Byrne
From USA Today bestselling author Wendy Byrne comes a new mystery series set in Chicago...
Detective Grace Powers worked at the Chicago Police Department for over eight years when she resigns to open her own PI Agency. Tired of the stress, the bureaucracy, the cases that went south, a testosterone-overload environment, plus not being forced to interact with her ex-fiancee, perpetual cheater and overall scumbag, Hank, is a win/win all the way around. When her first client Eileen Tynsdale White stumbles through the door and begs Grace to find her husband who disappeared a short time after pilfering nearly a million dollars from their joint account, Grace considers breaking her one and only rule--NO CHEATING SPOUSE CASES. The woman appears distraught with a chaser of naive--not a great combination--and Grace has multiple reservations about taking the case. In the end, she feels sorry for Eileen and agrees to help her out. But within a day or two of accepting the job, Grace encounters more mishaps, and injuries than she ever had during her tenure at CPD. There is a light at the end of that tunnel involving said injuries and her frequent ER visits when she encounters a sexy and funny doc by the name of Cordero James. He makes her laugh and stirs up thoughts of possibilities for steamy nights. Despite the roadblocks and trouble she's encountered, Grace is bound and determined to get justice for her client no matter what it takes. Except when reality comes crashing in and she suddenly feels like she might be in over her head. What level of risk is she willing to take to prove she's right?
