She can just make out a man and a woman arguing, a short scream cut off by a horrible choking sound, then an eerie silence followed by a final "e;click."e;Convinced she just heard a murder being committed-but with no solid proof-Helen is driven to find out what really happened with Hank and the mystery woman. But if she's not careful, she just might end up holding a dead line of her own...Praise for the Dead-End Job Mysteries by Anthony and Agatha Award-winning author Elaine Viets"e;A stubborn and intelligent heroine, a wonderful South Florida setting, and a cast of more-or-less lethal bimbos...I loved this book."e;-Charlaine Harris"e;Brave Viets preps by actually working the jobs she describes in loving and hilarious detail, giving her offbeat series a healthy balance between the banal and the bizarre."e; -Kirkus Reviews"e;Laugh-out-loud comedy with enough twists and turns to make it to the top of the mystery bestseller charts."e; -Florida Today"e;Fans of Janet Evanovich and Parnell Hall will appreciate Viets's humor."e;-South Florida Sun-Sentinel"e;Wit, murder, and sunshine . . . it must be Florida.
