Two Heads Are Deader Than One - Paperback

by Elena Hartwell (Author)

A private investigator trying to help an old friend escape jail time becomes a murder suspect, in this cozy mystery.

When her best friend from high school turns up out of nowhere begging for help, private investigator Eddie Shoes is right to be wary. She hasn't seen Dakota in years. Maybe it's nostalgia that has her bailing the woman out of jail. Eddie even reluctantly agrees to help Dakota find the person whose been stalking her. Of course, the moment Dakota is freed, she disappears, leaving Eddie on the hook with the local police, headed up by Eddie's ex-boyfriend, Det. Chance Parker. Now Eddie is hot on Dakota's trail, wondering if she was kidnapped or if she just jumped bail. Either way, things are not looking good for Eddie, especially when her business card is found on the bodies of not one, but two murder victims. Even worse, all evidence suggests that the answers to this mystery are tied to Dakota and Eddie's shared history. Which means that in order to solve this case, Eddie's going to have to face down her own demons. . . .
