ISBN: 0312282702
Carlotta Carlyle, the six-foot-tall redhead private investigator, thought that working undercover searching out fraud on Boston's Big Dig would be a challenging assignment. After all, the Big Dig, the creation of a central artery highway through downtown Boston, is a USD 14 billion project, the largest urban construction undertaking in modern history. But playing a mild-mannered secretary working out of a construction trailer is not quite the thrill ride she had in mind, so Carlotta starts moonlighting, taking on a missing person case. The mysterious death of a construction worker stirs up a storm of events and soon enough Carlotta is in over her head, grasping at the edges of a vast conspiracy that threatens to make this investigation her last.

ISBN: 0312278225
Fresh on the heels of KILLER STUFF, Sharon Fiffer's auspicious debut, Jane Wheel is making a career out of going through old things; it seems she can't get enough of the piles of vintage clothing, kitchen utensils, old newspapers and report cards she finds at estate sales across the Chicago area. As she's cataloguing her loot one Saturday afternoon, however, Jane makes a gruesome discovery. Packed in with the contents of a 1950s-era tavern she bought lock, stock and barrel, she uncovers a human finger entombed in a tiny jar. And there the mystery begins.
