Sick Like That

<p><strong>This follow-up to <em>The Last Gig</em> features a tough and edgy one-of-a-kind heroine--an entirely fresh take on the hardboiled women private investigators who dominate so many crime fiction classics.</strong></p><p>PI Marty Stiles was shot and paralyzed and is now in rehab trying to decide whether to fight to recover. Meanwhile his agency is being run by two women: the street-smart and savvy Alessandra Martillo who's the muscle and Sarah Waters a naïve single mom new to the job but who quickly becomes the brains. Though the two women grew up only a few miles from each other in Brooklyn it might as well have been worlds apart. Now they're partners and for all their differences are committed to their joint venture. When Sarah's deadbeat ex-husband gets into trouble Al would rather let him suffer but she agrees to help Sarah figure out where he is and why another man has ended up dead.</p><p><strong>Gritty and unputdownable this is perfect for fans of James Lee Burke and Robert Crais.</strong></p>
