One for an Old Friend

About the Book

Mickie Stevens hits up an old waterfront dive to meet a good friend, not knowing she’s about to witness murder. A professional assassin kills her friend, and Mickie sees it all. She’s impressed, honestly; the killer did such a good job, her friend’s death almost looks like an accident. Good thing Mickie knows better. Turns out Mickie’s friend was about to expose a criminal conspiracy, which is why they bumped her off. Little did the bad guys know their actions would set in motion a whole different investigation, led by the tenacious Mickie, a medically retired police detective. And so the hunt begins. In order to get close to her suspects, Mickie goes undercover as a woman of ill repute. In dark alleys and dingy bars, she renews friendships, finds new love, makes new enemies, and uncovers international smuggling. Mickie’s in pretty deep, but she’s prepared to do anything to catch her friend’s killer—even if she breaks a couple laws along the way.
