Their first fugitive is Martha Lee Spooner, a habitual parole violator and legendary embezzler who’s jumped bail and headed south for Florida. Spooner is up to her old tricks, planning to skim half a million from a posh health spa that’s part of the WeightAway weight-loss empire. And somehow she manages to stay one step ahead of Loretta and Frank all the way, transforming what should have been an easy collar into a wild roller-coaster chase down the eastern seaboard.
As their frustration builds, Loretta and Frank soon realize that their careers are on the line and time is running out fast. But they vow that if it’s the last thing they do, they are going to reel in the slippery Spooner.

Loretta Kovacs is at the bottom of the law enforcement food chain, tracking down parole violators. On the trail of a money laundering grifter, she winds up at a Florida fat farm where the Internal Revenue Service and a mob enforcer join her in the hunt. With a plot that twists and crackles with surprising energy, Anthony Bruno turns this overworked material into a wonderfully dark comic thriller. Here’s a writer to watch.
