The eighth book in this series finds Munch Mancini much removed from her former life of abuse and prostitution. She now works as an automobile mechanic, work she loves and does so well that even her male co-workers acknowledge her skill (if somewhat grudgingly). She has a daughter, a little girl left in her care by a dying friend. And she is about to marry a police officer whom she loves deeply.It all comes crashing down when a friend in the Police Department calls to tell her that her fiancŽ is dead, shot down by his fellow cops in a drug bust gone wrong. Refusing to believe the explanation she is given, Munch goes on a dangerous mission, first for knowledge, and then for revenge.
