About the author

Joan Baker-Young has lived many lives, among them musical theater actress, singing bar waitress in the Caribbean islands, planetarium lecturer and English teacher. Her most recent life, that of writer, has shown her that her seemingly scattershot past has provided a wealth of material for her fiction—mysteries about women with some backbone and brains. With her low threshold of boredom, her works are not only contemporary, but also involve time travel, history, and fantasy. Joan has two children and lives in Richmond, Virginia.

by Joan Baker-Young

Description

Diminutive fiery-haired Amber Kegan-Fallon is New York City’s self-proclaimed "Temp from Hell;" that is when she has enough energy left over from her night job, which she wants to keep because pushing drinks pays waaay better than praising execs. But when the night job is suddenly toast, she finds herself the prime suspect in the club’s suspicious demise. How can she convince hot investigator Brian McNulty she's innocent and point him to the bad guys? Forced to figure things out for herself since she was a kid, she decides to take on a job that will hopefully do just that, and sinks into a morass of corporate intrigue.
