Caught Dead — Bridget McKenna

MEET CALEY BURKE, P.I.
Caley Burke never expected to become a P.I. But then the thirtysomething redhead never expected her marriage to end, either. She never expected to be living alone in northern California, investigating criminal cases, and packing a .32 caliber pistol in her purse.

But in her new line of work, Caley is learning to expect the unexpected...

Her boss wants her to get a little R&R. But Caley can't turn down a case that involves a friend. Annie Holland is a hardworking single mom, a waitress who serves Caley breakfast every day at a local cafe. Now she's accused of murdering her sister, a politician's wife who was ruthlessly manipulative--and universally despised. But getting Annie off the hook pits Caley against a tough detective sergeant who won't give her a break--and puts her right in the line of fire.

And this was supposed to be her time off...
