Perilous Friends: A Barbara Simons Mystery - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Barbara Simons was trying to figure out what to do, now that she and her employer had parted ways. She had the time, finally, to do everything she'd always wanted to do but didn't have the time for, but she needed to figure out how to finance it all. True, she had some money in the bank, a free, first-class airline pass good for the rest of her life, and a 560 SL Mercedes in the garage of her Montreal condo, but a girl can't live on possessions alone.
To get her mind off some of her problems, including a relationship that was going nowhere but out-of-town, she breaks into her friend Susan's ex-husband's apartment and takes high tea at the Ritz. Tea leads her into a den of gay cigarette hijackers; the break-in leads to the discovery of a body.
Suddenly, her problem isn't just financing a life of leisure but wondering whether she's going to have to finance a legal defense fund. That she is an Anglophone in a city where English is not only a second but a second-class language does nothing to raise her spirits. In fact, the only thing that seems to be falling faster is the snow. In just a few days, she had gotten a scabby knee, sold out a friend, tampered with evidence, convinced her neighbors she was a hooker, and decided that she had lost the love of her life. Enough was enough; Barbara Simons was about to strike back.
