Book Description:
It's the kind of case that has "NO!" written all over it. But ex-cop Carlotta Carlyle has a p.i. license getting moldy from disuse, so she takes on the search for a little old lady's missing brother. After all, how much trouble could an aging cabbie get into?
Plenty, Carlotta learns, as she uncovers a scam of laundered money and drug running, all mixed together in that dangerously powerful brew known as Boston-Irish politics.
"You will be caught up in Carlotta's adventures. For she is one of the most sparkling, most irresistible heroines ever to grace the pages of a whodunit . . . . It's top-drawer all the way."
-- Chicago Sun-Times

Linda Barnes' Carlotta Carlyle series is excellent. Set in Boston, tall ex-cop Carlotta is tough, bright, and interesting to follow.

Carlotta Carlyle, licensed private investigator in the city of Boston, has a new client; an old lady who wants the detective to find her missing brother. Well, money has been tight lately, so even though her better judgment is saying 'No,' she takes the case. When the old lady whips out a retainer off a roll of hundred-dollar bills big enough to choke a horse, she wonders if she's bitten off more than she can chew . . .
Series book about Boston P.I and cab-driver Carlotta Carlyle, who looks into the disappearance of an aging cabbie. Boston-Irish politics and history flavor this solid mystery.
