Death Turns a Trick: A Rebecca Schwartz Mystery (The Rebecca Schwartz)

Product Description A ROLLICKING TALE OF MURDER, ROMANCE, AND A BORDELLO... Rebecca Schwartz, nice Jewish lawyer with a few too many fantasies, is happily playing the piano in a whorehouse when she suddenly finds herself assigned to make sure a near-naked state senator escapes a police raid. That dirty job done, a lovely evening turns even more delightful when she's picked up by the cops and spends the next two hours at the Hall of Justice. Could this day get any worse? Of course! Guess who arrives home to find a dead hooker on her living room floor? Review "If you haven't discovered Smith yet, now is the time to do so...
