One for an Old Friend

Autorentext

I was born shortly after the Atomic Bomb ended WW2. Learned the three Rs - Reading, writing, and arithmetic - before engineers moved from slide rules to computers. Was in high school when we expected the Cuban Missile Crisis to get us all killed and when JFK and MLK, Jr. were assassinated. Graduated University before Saigon became Ho Chi Min City. Held 4 jobs long enough to be counted as careers and a few jobs that were just jobs to keep the refrigerator full. Now taking a run at writing books for a fifth career.

Klappentext

Mickie Stevens gets an unexpected extra when she visits an old friend at a waterfront dive. Her friend is killed while she witnesses the professional hit so cleverly committed that it almost passes as an unfortunate accident. The criminals were motivated to kill Mickie's friend to keep her friend from exposing them. Now, there is another tenacious detective, driven by strong personal motives, who is far more dangerous to their operations. As a medically retired police detective, Mickie begins to search for the murderer, even though it requires her to take the role of a woman-of-easy virtue. Along the way, she renews friendships with other old friends, meets new allies, finds a new love, awakens the hatred of an old foe, makes new enemies, and uncovers international smuggling.
