Money to Burn

She¿s a burglar¿s daughter and a first-rate private investigator. And if the tools of Veronica Ventana¿s trade include a PhD in lockpicking, thank her parents, the infamous Vintners, who made cat burglary a class act.

It¿s 3:30 a.m. when Bink Hanover bursts into Ronnie¿s apartment reeking of liquor and fear. Outside are four Uzi-toting thugs and a femme fatale who have chased him to her door. Before you can say ¿safe house,¿ Ronnie recruits Blackie Coogan, ex-boxer and over-the-hill PI. Then she¿s off to find the woman whom Bink calls the ¿Black Widow,¿ whose previous well-connected lovers have all come into sudden riches¿and sudden death.

Now Ronnie is bull¿s-eye in a nasty high-stakes game. From San Francisco¿s bedrooms to its boardrooms, she¿s racing to catch a killer before the killer catches her.
