From the award-winning author of The Accomplice and The Passenger comes the first novel in the Spellman Files series, featuring sharp-tongued private investigator Isabel "Izzy" Spellman--a quirky, rule-breaking PI with a talent for trouble and a family that's even more dysfunctional than her clients. At twenty-eight, Izzy Spellman works for her parents' San Francisco-based private investigation firm, where boundaries don't exist and everyone is fair game for surveillance--including each other. Between dodging her parents' micromanaging, outwitting her perfect lawyer brother, and trying (unsuccessfully) to be a good role model for her surveillance-obsessed teenage sister, Izzy is barely holding it together. When she decides to leave the family business for good, her parents give her one final assignment: solve a fifteen-year-old missing persons case. But as Izzy digs deeper, a new disappearance hits dangerously close to home--turning her last job into her most personal case yet. Fast-paced, irreverent, and full of heart, this witty detective novel blends family drama, romantic misadventures, and sharp humor into a standout mystery perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich and character-driven crime series.
