Engineer Tory Travers requests the aid of police detective David Alvarez when she discovers a dead body in a manhole while inspecting a community development site
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Disturbed by the city's rejection of her engineering report, Tory Travers (Engineered for Murder) revisits an abandoned housing project to check out its storm sewer system. There, she discovers the body of the bigoted city employee responsible for the property's condemnation years earlierAand perhaps for the related death of the project's Hispanic contractor. Tory calls in the attractive detective with whom she has partnered in the past, and the two begin gathering cluesAincluding connections to their last case. A constant undercurrent of sexual tension and dry humor accompanies these charmingly compulsive protagonists. Enjoyable reading for larger collections.
