THE QUESTION IS NOT WHETHER SPIKE HARRISON CAN STAY OUT OF PRISON. THE URGENT QUESTION IS THIS: CAN SHE KEEP HERSELF FROM GETTING BURIED ALIVE?. .. Thirty-eight-year-old Ava "Spike" Harrison can hold her own in the boys club that is the rough and tough construction business. Her late father saw to it that she was as comfortable on a job site as she was behind a textbook. But the past few years have had her over a barrel-job site injuries and a string of bad luck, including the death of her husband, have hampered the venerable Harrison Construction Company. Taking a cheap job here and there has been her only option. Grasping at straws, though, comes at a price: an asbestos removal contractor she's hired, Jimmy Farrell-a lifelong acquaintance who gladly accepted $10,000 from Spike as a "good faith" incentive-has gone AWOL. The three hundred students at Albany's PS 20, the job site, are about to be exposed to deadly asbestos fibers. What starts out as a goose chase-from a cleared-out office to Jimmy's impounded car-turns into an all-out search for the real story behind the man's sudden disappearance... Trading in her work boots for gumshoes, Spike must tread a path paved with deception, greed, and even murder if she's going to nail down the truth. The stakes couldn't be higher in this brand new, newly edited and revised amateur detective series. The Ava "Spike" Harrison novels are fast-paced, whip-smart, romantic, suspenseful, and of course thrilling. For fans of Robert B. Parker, Michael Connelly, Ace Atkins, Brett Battles, Don Winslow, and more comes an unputdownable mystery that's sure to keep you up all night...in a good way.
