The Charity Deacon Investigations

Charity witnesses a car crash. The police don't talk to PIs, but maybe they'll explain why the driver has a bullet hole in his head. Her very first client is a young streetwalker named Val. She's prickly and won't back off. She's used to fending for herself, but her sister Emma has fallen into something big. Anyone who shows too much interest in this particular business is liable to catch a sudden case of death. She needs the help of a pro, and soon, or Emma may not survive to be rescued.

In a quaint town in the South of France, Charity Deacon follows up on a favor for a neighbor. Make sure the local cops are searching for a missing woman. Shocked at the lack of interest in the case at the gendarmerie, Charity and Lu vow to discover the truth of what happened to Audrey Wylie. Struggling with a language she doesn’t speak and a culture that turns a blind eye to criminals, Charity digs up a link between smugglers and a kidnapped senior citizen.
