It was supposed to be an anonymous, one-night stand.Dr. Olivia Lacroix wasn’t proud that she went to the bar when she was ovulating, intending to get pregnant. No last names or phone numbers had to be exchanged—the guy never needed to know. No harm, no foul. Right?Wrong.When her one-night stand shows up at the hospital right after she’s given birth demanding answers, he’s no longer the nice guy she met in the bar. Not satisfied with her explanation, he insists she marry him or else he’s going to sue her for full custody. Olivia has money, but not the kind of money her infant son’s father apparently has. She had no idea she’d hooked up with a multi-millionaire.What else can she do but marry him? Their prenup guarantees her joint custody if he divorces her. That should be easy enough to make happen. If she can keep from falling in love with the grouch first.

This award-winning debut mystery introduces a Boston PI who’s “one of the most sparkling, most irresistible heroines ever to grace the pages of a whodunit” (Chicago Sun-Times). Six-foot-tall, redheaded ex-cop and Boston-based private eye Carlotta Carlyle is “the genuine article: a straightforward, funny, thoroughly American mystery heroine” (New York Post). Let go from the Beantown police force for insubordination, Carlotta Carlyle is ready for business. Her first client is the genteel and elderly Margaret Devens, whose brother, Eugene, one of the last in a handful of Boston’s aging Irish cabbies, has suddenly vanished. The case should be a cinch. Carlotta knows the territory. She even knew Eugene. But when Margaret is attacked, Carlotta fears the disappearance is just one hitch in a bigger scheme. Trolling the local pubs for clues isn’t going to hack it. Especially when she finds herself at odds with the FBI and a Mafia-connected former lover. As a moonlighting cabbie, Carlotta knows the streets well. But even she has no idea just how dangerous a route she’s taken . . . Winner of the American Mystery Award and nominated for both the Edgar and Shamus Awards, this first book in the series is “beautifully plotted, exciting, moving, and leavened with wit” (Robert B. Parker).
