"Dead Lift goes down like a shot of something smooth and smoky. Rachel Brady's new book is even better than Final Approach, and Emily Locke is on her way to being one of PI fiction's most interesting detectives. I loved it, and Brady is here to stay."
—Timothy Hallinan, author of The Queen of Patpong

—Hank Phillippi Ryan, Agatha Winning author of Prime Time
