Landslide — Sonje Jones

Everything has come down around private investigator Cornelia Osgood, Oz to most. Her sister has split town, leaving her newborn daughter in Oz's arms. And just before her sister ran off, Oz's girlfriend Abby left too. Oz loves her niece, but parenting is definitely cramping her style, both professionally and personally, and her mother, who doesn't seem like herself these days, isn't much help.

It doesn't seem like things can get any worse, but things almost always can. Next thing Oz knows, she finds out she's being sued for intentional infliction of emotional distress by Erika Hadley, a woman Oz had proven was lying about an injury in order to cash out on a big insurance claim.

Oz must defend herself against the lawsuit, all the while figuring out how to be a parent, what's going on with her mother, and what exactly Abby O'Leary means to her...

Landslide is book number three of four in the Detective Series.
