[auntie0nanuuq · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Modern day hard-boiled detective/attorney w/ 2 women aiding & abetting him.A set-up sex-scandal w/ a candidate for senate, a stolen Morisot painting, a murdered former prostitute turned art dealer & her partner dead as well...Both candidates are assholes, one more than the other, dirty politic, nutcase wives & relatives...The book held my interest, even if the political aspect bored me.
