Wild Onion Ltd. Mysteries
by David. J Walker
Being a hero is definitely not on lawyer Dugan's to-do list when he goes to retrieve his towed car one early morning. But when he comes across a crime in progress, he rescues the beautiful Isobel Cho from an armed abductor only to find she isn't too happy to be saved. Soon Isobel goes missing, and it's up to Dugan and his PI wife, Kirsten, to find out what's happened. Could Isobel's relationship with a senator's son be at the heart of it? Or are there dirtier tricks afoot?
"Another fine outing for Kirsten and Dugan, who set the standard for plotting, pace and hard-boiled humor." - Kirkus Reviews
"Walker's Wild Onion series is funny and clever, crackling with energy, peopled with intriguing characters, and driven by the chemistry between Kirsten and Dugan." - Booklist
"The latest Wild Onion thriller is a terrific tale due to the strong relationship between capable Kirsten and bumbling Dugan. The case is cleverly filled with twists as Chicago lives up to its reputation for hardball politics." - Harriet Klausner, The Mystery Gazette
