brooklyn detective funny private-eye woman-sleuth

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.All Rights Reserved

Charming Devil by kiatya

"Walk into my parlor," said the spider to the fly. "Tis the prettiest little parlor that you ever did spy." He was the villain. She was the hero. That was all Agent Hayes had ever needed to get the job done. Descended from a long line of public servants, codes, rules, and laws were etched into her very bones. Right and wrong might be matters of perception, but the law was absolute. The law was order. Following these simple truths had shaped her into who she was: a formidable force against all who sowed chaos. Criminals were the villains-despicable, untrustworthy, unnecessary, the vermin of society. Yet, with every encounter with this elusive criminal, her once-unshakable worldview trembled. Deception was second nature to her in undercover work. She had dismantled empires of evil with nothing more than a smile. Veterans of crime had been reduced to nothing, undone by their failure to see her coming. But this time, in this twisted game of I-spy, despite her skills and strategies, she still couldn't catch the fly. She set out to unravel a single thread of lies, but for each one she pulled, ten more tangled knots appeared. The deeper she delved, the darker and more treacherous the path became-until, in a moment of piercing clarity, she realized the truth: she wasn't the one spinning the web. She wasn't the spider at all. She was the fly. And he was the Spider King.

But beneath the polished veneer, her eyes betrayed a haunting sadness. Work was her only refuge, the one thing that numbed the pain. Once, she had known true happiness. She had a loving family and a best friend Kate who was closer than just a friend. Her best friend made her feel alive in ways her husband never could. But seven years ago, everything changed.

But they are not the same teenage girls they once were. They both have secrets that could ruin everything. As they inch closer to the truth and to each other, they will discover that everyone in their circle conceals a sinister secret. ------------------------------------------------------------------- This story is a mix between detective and romance with dark criminal content and a description of explicit scenes.
