White Gloria

    Cette auteure, finaliste à deux reprises pour l'Edgar Award, crée une série captivante centrée sur une détective privée biculturelle. Sa protagoniste, qui transgresse les règles et possède une expertise unique dans le contournement des systèmes de sécurité (une compétence héritée de ses parents cambrioleurs), est un personnage attachant. Publishers Weekly souligne son approche intelligente et stylée de l'enquête, en faisant une héroïne de choix pour des mystères captivants.

      After a fifteen-year absence Ronnie Ventana's high school friend, Analisa Bugatti, turns up in San Francisco with a couple of babies in tow. During lunch at a Chinatown restaurant, Analisa vanishes, leaving Ronnie with the two kids. Is Analisa in trouble, or simply criminally irresponsible? Rather than plunge the children into the bureaucratic quagmire of Child Protective Services, Ronnie gives her friend the benefit of the doubt and temporarily stashes the kids with a grumbling Blackie Coogan while she sets out to find her friend. What she uncovers is a web of lies and failed loyalties, where the babies are the currency and not the only losers in a high stakes game of greed and need.
