Book Description

Hairdresser Tracy Lemon lives with her husband Carl and eight-year-old son Jamie in the same small western city where they grew up. When Carl applies for a promotion to become detective, Tracy thinks she knows the way to impress the town’s cantankerous chief of police—she’ll help Carl solve more crimes than the other job candidates. Carl scoffs at the idea, so Tracy issues a challenge—she will solve the next crime before he does. From her scissors-wielding position, Tracy learns things no cop could uncover. Nine cases explore today's pressing social issues—petty theft, prescription drug abuse, Medicare fraud, meth cooking, animal cruelty, gay rights, and police brutality. But when husband Carl kills a Native American in the line of duty and is accused of racial profiling, Tracy’s investigative skills are stretched to the max.
