Ali Duchess is sixty, skilled, and lethal. She's an ex-spy who uses her talents for mayhem as a freelance investigator and problem solver. When Sharon Jaswal, a brilliant writer of software code, is murdered, Ali joins private detective Cal Healy to find and, if necessary, punish the murderer. Ali bends the law if it moves the investigation forward so she and Cal can obtain information that the police cannot. Anyway, the police aren't highly motivated. They believe the killing is random. Ali and Cal's illicit info points at hitherto unknown suspects, one of whom is the killer. We also met Ali, a youthful officer in the CIA. She recruits, rescues, investigates, and occasionally kills. When Ali is posted to London, she must identify a mole in the US Embassy. Frustrating false trails, torture, and a stunning surprise are part of her daily fare, and all the while, she has a love affair that does not end well. Whether a traitorous mole or a brutal murderer, evildoers are in error if they believe they can evade the relentless pursuit of the Private Eye and erstwhile Spy, Auralie Duchess.
