Fracktown Gumshoe
Whatâs scarier for Rust Belt PI Niccolo Fitzhugh? A dead body in the trunk of burning car or waking up in bed with prosecutor Alicia Linnerman after a blistering drunk? Fitzâs life has been turned upside down since the death of his beloved wife Gracie. Outside of work, heâs holed up at home alone, drowning in his grief. But sex with Alicia has him thinking she believes there might be something more than being friends with benefitsâsomething Fitz needs to shut down and fast. When a stripper from one of Fawcettvilleâs topless joints turns down witness protection for testifying against a murderer, then comes up missing, itâs an easy conclusion the body in the trunk is hers. Or is it? Fracking has come to Fawcettville, and with it a boom-town rise in crime. One manâs search for his daughter may look like the act of a caring father, but Fitz has his doubts about the caseâand where his relationship with Alicia could go.
