Wine, women, and song. What could possibly go wrong? Meet Maxine Leverman, lover of expensive shoes, beautiful handbags, and her lingerie wearing ex-husband's hush money. When she pleads her way into a job at family run Lost and Found Investigations, Maxine's only goal is to gain the concealed carry license and PI skills she needs to find the man who attacked her, and then kill him. (Or maybe just put him in jail, that decision can wait.) But when she secretly takes a missing husband case on her first day at the agency, she stumbles into a high-stakes game of blackmail and murder. Maxine must unravel the links between a forgotten folk punk band, an international drug cartel, and the tangled history of the missing husband to keep the women in his life alive. Fans of the early Stephanie Plum novels and Stuart Woods' Holly Barker series will love Maxine's tenacity, grit, and lust for life.

Leslie Schwartz, author of "Jumping the Green" and "Angels Crest." "Lynn Cohen manages what politicians seem to find it so impossibly difficult to do - she imagines the experience of "the other."

Through chapters rich with intricate, careful details, haunting encounters, and, a wide range of compelling conversations, Cohen shapes new possibilities for consideration and understanding." Naomi Shihab Nye, poet, novelist, and songwriter. ..".bursts all the usual neat clich s on the Palestino-Israeli conflict.
