Produktbeschreibung

"Mavis Davis is a great character: smart, funny and stubborn enough to make an efficient PI." An Amazon Vine ™️ Voice Reviewer

"The complex plot unfolds very rapidly." The Galveston Daily News.

"Her 'first murder' is as good as you can get." The Daily Press, Newport News, VA

"The plot is complex but fast-paced. It is well edited. Mavis may be inexperienced, but she is tenacious." An Amazon Reader

Mavis Davis, a likable, new-to-the-job private investigator, not only has one of the wackiest office staffs in mystery fiction, but also goes about solving her first crime in her own, independent, highly interesting way.

When greasy-spoon cafe owner Carl Singleton shows up wanting to hire Mavis to solve the murder of one of his waitresses, Doris Jones, a woman with whom he has fallen in love, Mavis reluctantly takes the job especially when Carl confesses that all the other private investigators in Houston have turned him down. But, facts are facts, and Mavis has to face the fact that she has bills to pay that serving legal papers won't cover.

Though the Houston Police Department, including Mavis' boyfriend Sgt. Ben Sorensen, gets in her face and tries to discourage her, Mavis dives head first into the case. What she learns is, there is scandal deep in the heart of Texas. She only hopes she can uncover it before it's too late for her.
