Tough Cookie M. Ruth Myers

When Depression-era private eye Maggie Sullivan is invited to dine with a millionaire, she doesn?t expect the first course to be a gun in her face. It draws her into a gold-plated web of theft, revenge, double crosses and murder. A big-time swindle has made fools of some of the city?s wealthiest businessmen. The man behind it has vanished. When Maggie begins asking questions, he reappears ? dead in the river. But she?s already learned too much. Someone?s out to silence her too. Armed with her .38 and a nip of gin, Maggie closes in on a killer as a mobster offers a hint, a cop unsettles her with his chemistry, and a woman with deadly potential plays a game by her own rules.
