Niccolo Fitzhugh

Think your husband is unfaithful? Call Fitz.Niccolo 'Fitz' Fitzhugh is the retired cop who runs Fitzhugh Investigations, whose business revolves around digging up dirt for local divorce lawyers. He knows, maybe better than anyone, how an unfaithful male thinks. After all, his police career came to an abrupt end when he slept with the police chief's slinky wife-and he's sleeping on his office couch because his own wife, cellist and college professor Dr. Grace Darcy, believes he hasn't changed his ways.But getting a suspected murderer off? That's not in his usual wheelhouse. When a local attorney, Jim Ambrosi hires him to prove his client Michael Atwater isn't the killer of hooker Gina Cantolini, Fitz must get to the bottom of a tangled web of small town politics and a dark, dark tale of family secrets and revenge. But at what cost?

The women in the life of private investigator Niccolo Fitzhugh aren't making things easy for him at all. His mother has told Father O'Malley, the priest at St. Rita, he would investigate-for free-the case of Aileen O'Connor, who lost $50,000 to con man Benedict St. Giles and who believes she's part of a rebirth of the Catholic Church. Then Fitz's beloved wife Gracie leaves him for two weeks to fend for himself to take a group of students to Vienna,-and Father O'Malley ends up dead. The case brings another problem-FBI Special Agent Fiona Rafferty who has been on St. Giles' tail since another priest was found dead. Even worse: the history she has with Fitz since she was a new police officer in Fawcettville, could explode in ways that put his life -and his marriage-in danger. Can Fitz resist the temptation that Rafferty poses? And can he rescue O'Connor before the worst happens?
