Hubris

A missing teenager. A suspicious car accident, a mouthy client. Charity witnesses a car crash. The police don't talk to PIs, but maybe they'll explain why the driver has a bullet hole in his head. Her very first client is a young streetwalker named Val. She's prickly and won't back off. She's used to fending for herself, but her sister Emma has fallen into something big. Anyone who shows too much interest in this particular business is liable to catch a sudden case of death. She needs the help of a pro, and soon, or Emma may not survive to be rescued. As Charity traces each lead with Val in tow, they get closer and closer to the most dangerous criminals in the city - the Chinese gangs that kill anyone who gets too curious about their business- drugs and human trafficking.
