Sticky Fingers

Roxy Abruzzo has to be careful to stay one step ahead of trouble--especially now that a low cash flow has her "doing favors" for her Uncle Carmine, one of the last old-time mob bosses in Pittsburgh. Roxy is collecting debts for Uncle Carmine. With her daughter's college tuition to pay, Roxy can almost convince herself that the jobs aren't illegal. But when Carmine's consigliere offers Roxy a contract to kidnap someone, that's a line she won't cross. Trouble is when kidnapping victim turns up murdered, Roxy's number one on the police hit parade. To protect herself, she investigates and soon learns the victim had a big secret---or two. Add a rock singer, a pesky paleontologist, and a sexy chef with a taste for whatever Roxy dishes up, and you've got a caper full of laugh-out-loud mayhem. Peppered with one-liners, Sticky Fingers---the second Roxy Abruzzo mystery---is even tastier than the first.
