"You should leave before you get yourself in trouble"
"I'm leaving when the job's done, George"
Some people would call Julia Pyne a private detective. Others would just call her out of her depth.
Or a hard-ass. It depends who you ask.
When the conclusive solution to a young man's murder relies on something as small as a missing fragment of a shattered mirror, it's already a job for the professionals. When it is lost within the bustling metropolis of New York, it would take experience and a miracle.
Julia is merely an amateur.
And she has never believed in miracles.

Tracy Hayes, Apprentice PI
When Tracy Hayes, a Brooklyn waitress extraordinaire -- only a slight exaggeration -- loses her job -- again -- she doesn't mope; she can't afford to or she'll lose her apartment. She becomes an apprentice to an enigmatic PI. Her first case should be easy: locate the owner of a dog she's found. But things are never as simple as they seem, and soon she's ankles deep in criminals, FTAs, and cheating spouses. And that's on top of a family that likes to meddle with her life, a new roommate, and an ex-husband who doesn't have the decency to be less successful than her. A weaker woman would give up, but Brooklyn waitresses are made of sterner stuff. And a good thing too, because Tracy will need every bit of her resolution to handle the mess she's in.Complete

While death came knocking at my door, so did the start of a new relationship, with whom Yokohama knew as being their "greatest detective".
