That's the question Chicago journalist Cat Marsala is wrestling with. The hooker, Sandra Love, is sleeping on Cat's couch in exchange for the inside scoop on life as a prostitute. Now she's dead in a gutter outside Cat's building and nobody seems to be in a hurry to solve the crime.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExcept Cat. Digging into the netherworld of prostitution, from the streetwalkers who trade sex for food, to the enormously high-priced independents, Cat's search for a killer takes her deep into the motives and motivations of hard women--and men--on both sides of a dirty game.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePraise for Barbara D'Amato\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Cat Marsala is the character I've been waiting for since the death of John D.
