Praise for Viviana Valentine Gets Her Man : "Edwards' clever, highly enjoyable debut is a love letter to the old-school private eye, starring a street-smart secretary who finds herself suddenly tasked with solving the cases of New York's rich and famous. With a stellar cast of supporting characters and a 1950s setting that drips with life, Viviana Valentine Gets Her Man unfolds a fun, twisty mystery before sticking the landing for a satisfying final reveal. This firecracker of a series opener will leave readers ready for more Viv!" --Allison Epstein, author of A Tip for the Hangman, Praise for Viviana Valentine Gets Her Man : "A snappy valentine to a bygone era . . . [with] a raft of twists and complications." -- Kirkus Reviews "A solid debut . . . For fans of hardboiled PIs with hearts of gold." -- Library Journal "Edwards nails the tone, with dialogue and milieu evocative of classic noir." -- Bookpage "[An] old-fashioned New York gumshoe detective novel, but brought up to date and given a very feminine spin . . .

Synopsis
New York City, 1950. Viviana Valentine is Girl Friday to the city's top private investigator, Tommy Fortuna. The clients can be frustrating, and none more maddening than fabulously wealthy Tallmadge Blackstone, who demands Tommy tail his daughter, Tallulah, and find out why she won't marry his business partner, a man forty years her senior. Sounds like an open-and-shut case for a P.I. known for busting up organised crime - but the next day, Viviana opens the office to find Tommy missing and a lifeless body on the floor. The cops swoop in and Detective Jake Lawson issues a warrant for Tommy's arrest. Desperate to clear Tommy's name, Viviana takes on the Blackstone case herself.
