“When an old enemy from high school, Trish, and her friends, come to Mary Denunzio for help with an abusive boyfriend who is also connected to the mob, Mary explains the law can do nothing about it. Within days, Trish has disappeared and her friends and family fear she's dead. Mary starts investigating and in the process angers many of her south Philadelphia clients and ultimately gets fired when hunting for Trish becomes more important than helping her boss, bennie, on a case. She finds Trish but not until after Bobbie, the abusive boyfriend, and we discover an old lover of Mary's, is killed. In this novel, Mary begins to develop more confidence in herself and stands up a bit more for herself but is still subject to worry that she isn't doing the "right" thing. She also starts dating Anthony, an Italian from the neighborhood.”
