Blurb:
Gina Marie Cototi is a feisty Sicilian sparkplug, a
Brooklyn-based PI with a fondness for family, friends, and one roguishly
handsome Casanova named Rocco Benelli. Hey, nobody's perfect.
This headstrong sleuth drives a split-window '63 Corvette
coupe and never, I mean never, misses Sunday dinner with Ma, Dad, and her
sister Theresa.
Broke, brooding, and breathtaking, Benelli, an out-of-work
parole officer is cursed with more charm than any man deserves. Deep down, Gina
knows she shouldn't touch him with a ten-foot pole, but she's got more cases
than she can handle, and Benelli's ready, willing, and able-bodied, the perfect
partner to help her get the goods on Vlad "The Scud" Rzhevsky, a
disreputable boxer running point on dirty deeds for Luca Mura, a mobster as
evil as he is dangerous.
Gina must somehow close the case without losing her life to
Mura or her virtue to Benelli, but a moth working alongside a flame is always
in danger of catching fire.
For fans of Janet Evanovich. Think of Man-Killer as
Stephanie Plum meets Moonstruck.
