Her partner is stubborn, so Meg winds up confused, especially because when she agrees to confront the seemingly guilty spouse and serve him the divorce papers, she finds a disturbingly attractive guy whose denials she finds convincing. The real problems begin, however, when he turns up dead and Meg becomes a suspect. It doesn't matter that there's a very nasty, very blond bad guy stalking her, or that Mrs. De la Pena is undoubtedly a serial liar; before it's all over, Meg is shot at, shadowed, slashed, and finally grateful for the protection of her overprotective admirer/nemesis, Reilly of the Beverly Hills Police Department, who insists on looking after her 24 hours a day.
In the best trouble-a-minute, smart-alecky style, Songer whisks Meg through hot spots and chilling moments alike with equal skill. What feels different here about a familiar formula is that Meg, Mike, Reilly, and even the villains and lesser characters don't seem like caricatures. There's an easy, natural rhythm to it all, a style and pace that make for the best kind of mystery fiction. --Otto Penzler

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Signed by author and dated 11/27/99 on title page. Meg's running a private security firm with a partner, Mike Johnson, and since both of them are ex-police force types, they know the drill. If Mike has become personally involved with a client who has a violent husband, it's no time to play Archie Goodwin, handling it on his own like some fictional knight errant. Her partner is stubborn, so Meg winds up confused, especially because when she agrees to confront the seemingly guilty spouse and serve him the divorce papers, she finds a disturbingly attractive guy whose denials she finds convincing. The real problems begin, however, when he turns up dead and Meg becomes a suspect. It doesn't matter that there's a very nasty, very blond bad guy stalking her, or that Mrs. De la Pena is undoubtedly a serial liar; before it's all over, Meg is shot at, shadowed, slashed, and finally grateful for the protection of her overprotective admirer/nemesis, Reilly of the Beverly Hills Police Department, who insists on looking after her 24 hours a day. In the best trouble-a-minute, smart-alecky style, Songer whisks Meg through hot spots and chilling moments alike with equal skill. What feels different here about a familiar formula is that Meg, Mike, Reilly, and even the villains and lesser characters don't seem like caricatures.
