Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A young woman kneels on the sidewalk on Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles cradling the head of her dead lover. At first, she thinks her man has suffered a stroke, but Juliet soon discovers that he has been poisoned. A private investigator murdered because of what he knew. After months of mourning, Juliet decides to take up the reins of private detection left dangling by her dead lover, if only to find out why he was murdered, and more importantly, by whom. The problem is, as soon as you set yourself up as a private eye, people expect you to find answers to their problems and put your own on the back burner. But are these new cases somehow connected? Her dead lover didn't believe in coincidence, and neither does she. Does that mean things are not what they seem? Being a young woman in a man's world in 1970 was bad enough, but finding out how to see the connections of cause and effect while dealing with misogamy and prejudice in men paid to uphold the law forces Juliet to discover her own limits but also her own strengths.
