Her Ex-GI P.I.: A '60s Mystery

Carrie Walsh is almost unaware of the Women’s Liberation Movement, a 1960s girl too shy to speak her mind and too uptight to burn her bra. When she witnesses a murder in an alley in Flint, Michigan, Carrie's life takes a new direction. Joining the handsome, brooding Vietnam veteran Jack Porter to solve the crime, Carrie begins to feel more like a career woman and less like the incompetent, unattractive person her mother believes her to be. Still, in her own mind she's no female sleuth. She sees herself more as Perry Mason's Della Street, ready to run errands for the detective, whose service in Vietnam left him crippled. The suspense builds as Jack and Carrie look into the death she witnessed, the murder of Jack's friend and former partner. They do well together, but she discovers that Jack brought secrets home--secrets that bring Carrie disappointment in love, uncertainty at work, and the very real possibility that she's targeted for murder.
