About

Indianapolis social worker Adele Buffington's caseload is unusually heavy: Solve a murder, find a missing mother and her young daughters, stay alive. Adele Buffington is working late when she's startled by an intruder. The next day a man is found murdered. The note pinned to his jacket reads, "Hands off, social workers!" Then, a woman and her two young daughters go missing. When Adele decides to launch her own investigation, with the help - or hindrance - of PI Albert Samson and Lt. Leroy Powder, she quickly finds herself out of her depth, haunted by echoes of her own past and by a killer who could obliterate her future.

Reviews

"Highly readable... a breezily entertaining mix of offbeat suspense, appealing character-comedy, and vivid social-work close-ups."
Kirkus Reviews
"The witty exchanges of wily Proffitt and faithful Samson provide welcome comic relief from the all-too-believable chain of events. The staunch heroine's caseworker colleagues lend extra dimension to this fast-paced adventure."
Publishers Weekly
