From the award-winning author of The Accomplice and The Passenger comes the first novel in the Spellman Files series, featuring sharp-tongued private investigator Isabel “Izzy” Spellman—a quirky, rule-breaking PI with a talent for trouble and a family that’s even more dysfunctional than her clients.
At twenty-eight, Izzy Spellman works for her parents’ San Francisco–based private investigation firm, where boundaries don’t exist and everyone is fair game for surveillance—including each other. Between dodging her parents’ micromanaging, outwitting her perfect lawyer brother, and trying (unsuccessfully) to be a good role model for her surveillance-obsessed teenage sister, Izzy is barely holding it together.
When she decides to leave the family business for good, her parents give her one final assignment: solve a fifteen-year-old missing persons case. But as Izzy digs deeper, a new disappearance hits dangerously close to home—turning her last job into her most personal case yet.
Fast-paced, irreverent, and full of heart, this witty detective novel blends family drama, romantic misadventures, and sharp humor into a standout mystery perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich and character-driven crime series.
