"Publishers Weekly"
"Firecracker P.I. Fina Ludlow returns in the next hard-driving entry in the acclaimed series by Ingrid Thoft."
It s been a couple months since Fina s last big case the one that exposed dark family secrets and called Fina s family loyalty into question but there s no rest for the weary, especially when your boss is Carl Ludlow.
Renata Sanchez, a single mother by choice, wants to learn the identity of her daughter Rosie s sperm donor. A confidentiality agreement and Rosie s reticence might deter other mothers, but not Renata, nor Carl, who s convinced that lawsuits involving cryobanks and sperm donors will be the next big thing. Fina uncovers the donor s identity, but the solution to that mystery is just the beginning: within hours of the case going public, Rosie s donor turns up dead.
Fina didn t sign on for a murder investigation, but she can t walk away from a death she may have set in motion. She digs deeper and discovers that DNA doesn t tell the whole story and sometimes, cracking that code can have deadly consequences."
