Publisher Description: Cincinnati, 1942. The secret to being a grifter is changing up the con so the rubes don't realize they're being taken. Kissy Lisbon's spent years honing her skills as a con-woman, but as the war in Europe drags on, things get tough in the Queen City. Her new scheme: hiring herself out as a private eye. Her first client has a missing daughter, the missing daughter has a German boyfriend, and the German boyfriend has friends in all the wrong places. Following a lead sends Kissy careening headlong into a whirlwind of stolen money, American Nazis, and bleeding corpses. When an old flame from Kizzy's past shows up wearing a shiny new detective's badge, she's less than thrilled, but together they scour the city for answers. As the bodies start to pile up around her, Kissy is in a race to save the missing girl, her country, and her very life. "Big Shots & Bullet Holes is the steak dinner the main characters are pursuing. Thick, rich, tasty, and presented on a 1940s platter that is a feast for your senses, it is a delectable period mystery that races to a satisfying conclusion. Spicer's wit and cleverness shine and leave you wondering what he will serve up next for your reading pleasure." - Jean Rabe, author of the Piper Blackwell mystery series |
