The Romanian Cleaning Lady
Zev Bagel
Description
“Your cleaning lady is missing?”
Lizzy Bright has just opened her office as a private investigator and her first inquiry seems like a prank. When the case takes her into the murky world of prostitution and human smuggling Lizzy is in over her head, until retired Detective Inspector William Breasy appears. But Breasy also has his air of mystery, not least the fact that he was a friend of Lizzy’s father, who vanished when she was eleven. The shadows from her past weave through the darkness of the present, pulling Lizzy deeper into a web of dangerous secrets.
Based in the historic city of Canterbury in England, this is the first in the Bright & Breasy mystery series by Zev Bagel.
