Having
left the dull life of workers’ comp insurance behind to strike it out as a
private detective, things aren’t going well for Josie P. Cates. Her new career
isn't as exciting - or lucrative - as she thought it would be. As her bank
account dwindles, her first major client finally walks in the door. Chef Marco,
a successful local restaurateur, hires Josie to find out who's skimming money
from his business. It doesn't take long for Josie to discover that things at
Bistro Italiano aren’t what they seem. Secrets seem to cling to Chef Marco like
splattered marinara sauce. With the help of friends both old and new, Josie
unravels a case that takes her from the bistro to the world of deadly dark
magic. At least it keeps things from being too boring.

About
the authors:
Heather
Fraser Brainerd is a renaissance woman. After earning a degree in Anthropology,
she embarked on an incongruous career as a workers’ compensation insurance
adjuster. She rapidly climbed the claims-handling ladder before surprising her
colleagues by leaving the high-powered world of lumbar strains and carpal
tunnel syndrome to run a child care center. Thousands of dirty diapers and
gallons of strained peas later, she decided that maybe the insurance industry
wasn’t quite as bad as she remembered. Unfortunately, it was. Fortunately, a
few years later, she met the most wonderful man in the world. Now a stay-home
mom to three amazing boys, she is able, at long last, to focus on her writing.
Heather lives in New York with her family and their crazy pug/terrier.
David
Fraser was born on March 25, 1973. March 25, incidentally, is International
Waffle Day (Varfudagn in Sweden) and Tolkien Reading Day (The Ring was
destroyed on March 25). Elton John shares his birthday. So next March 25, you
should eat a waffle while reading Lord of the Rings and listening to Rocket
Man. I know Dave will. Before deciding to become an internationally-famous
author, Dave held a number of different jobs. He processed small business
insurance policy changes, tested software on digital copier/printers, put out
little orange flags in pick-your-own strawberry fields, installed internet
cable in schools, shelved books in a library, taught college calculus, and
handed out raffle tickets at a Barry Manilow concert. Granted, this last job
was a one day temp job, but it was awesome. He currently does little fix-up
jobs around his house and chauffeurs his kids while trying to find time to
write.
