“Fans of comic mysteries should add Bruno to their must-read list, alongside Laurence Shames and Janet Evanovich” (Booklist).
The plus-size parole officer returns in this new novel by the author of Anthony Award finalist Devil’s Food and Double Espresso. This time around, a sexy colleague “borrows” Loretta Kovacs’s partner—and paramour—Frank Marvelli for an assignment in San Francisco, and jealous Loretta tails them.
Then Marvelli is kidnapped, and the women must team up to find him and nab the fugitive in question—a successful ice-cream entrepreneur . . .
Anthony Bruno's novel Devil's Food, the first book in the Kovacs/Marvelli series, received an Anthony nomination for Best Novel of 1998. He is also the author of several other acclaimed crime novels, including Double Espresso, Bad Luck, Bad Guys, Bad Mood, Bad Business, and Bad Apple. Somewhere along the way, he also squeezed in the bestselling novelization of the hit movie Seven.
