The Big Shakeup - Boyarsky, Nancy

. .

Résumé :
Everyone is innocent until proven guilty, or so they say. P.I. Nicole Graves arrives early at work, just as Los Angeles is hit with the Big One, a long-predicted, devastating earthquake. When the building stops shaking, Nicole finds Jerry, her boss, in his office dying of a gunshot wound. It appears to be suicide. Nicole is shocked to learn that the police have decided Jerry's death was murder and even more shocked that she's their only suspect when there's no shortage of people with motives. And there's the question of why the detectives are pursuing this one case when all city workers, including the police, are in an all-out search and rescue operation for survivors. All she can do is evade capture long enough to prove her innocence and catch the real culprit. Nancy Boyarsky's writing has been praised as well-crafted, tautly-written by James Lilliefors, author of the Amy Hunter novels The Psalmist and The Tempest, and thoroughly entertaining and unforgettable by Dave Edlund, USA TODAY bestselling author of the Peter Savage Novels. Like John le Carre, Boyarsky portrays a world of espionage that's more grit than glamour and where it can be a struggle to distinguish the good guys from the bad. A real page-turner with a satisfying resolution. -Mally Becker, author of The Turncoat's Widow (Praise for The Moscow Affair, Nicole Graves Book 6) Each book in the Nicole Graves Mysteries is written as a stand-alone.
