Playing with the Bad Boys - A MIA Ferrari Mystery

A woman plunges ten floors down an atrium and lands on a baby grand piano in the luxurious Rourke International Hotel in Sydney. The police rule this as a straight case of suicide, but 48-year-old hotel duty manager and wannabe investigator, Mia Ferrari, thinks otherwise. As Mia sets out to unravel the mysterious death and prove the cops wrong-especially her arch-enemy, Detective Sergeant Phil Smythe-she comes up against an unsavoury cast of characters who will do anything to shut her up. With a little help from her friends, Mia does not stop until she unearths the truth. Mia Ferrari is a "wiseass," older chick with determination and an attitude, and she never takes "no" for an answer. Readers who enjoy film noir will be able to relate to this story and the style of writing used by the author.
