Murder on Wheels

Pocket Books, 1992

MEET WANDA Mallory, P.I., "the tough-talking, chain-smoking, funky-chic owner of the Do It Right Detective Agency" and the creation of Valerie Frankel, an associate editor at Mademoiselle and, like Wanda, a former Daily D columnist. We're not talking Nancy Drew here. Nancy never would have been hired by the leader of a New York biker gang to find money stolen from his casino.

Nancy would never have gotten herself strapped to a dressing room wall by a Mafia thug in an East Village bondage emporium. Nancy would never touch tequila or have a messy love life. Come to think of it,

Nancy wasn't nearly so much fan as Wanda.

There is something for every mystery fan here in this second of what we hope will be a very long series kinky escapades, explicit sex, roller-coaster plot-twists, and enough P.I. jargon to gag Sam Spade.
