McNair, Cici.

Advance Reading Copy. New York / Boston / Nashville, Center Street Press, 2009. 14 x 21cm. (8), 354 pages. Original softcover. Excellent condition.

Raised as a Southern Belle, Cici McNair escaped her suffocating upbringing the first chance she had to travel the world. When Cici finds herself in New York, divorced, broke, and fashionably starving to death in a Madison Avenue apartment, she impulsively decides to become a private detective. Being a private investigator is as exciting and liberating as Cici ever dreamed, from creating a false identity on the spot on her first case in the field to surviving adrenaline-rushing car chases. Working with law enforcement, she goes undercover, dealing with the ruthless Born to Kill gang in Chinatown and the Middle Eastern counterfeiters west of Broadway. A detailed account of the hidden world and real-life cases of a P.I., this action-packed memoir is as entertaining as any detective novel you’ve ever read. [From jacket notes]
