About “Brazen Virtue”

D.C. Detectives: book 2 follows Grace McCabe, a mystery novelist seeking relaxation by visiting her sister, Kathleen, in Washington, D.C. Grace is shocked to find Kathleen living in a rundown neighborhood and working as a phone-sex operator under the name Desiree for Fantasy, Inc. Kathleen is struggling financially after a divorce and the loss of her son, and she relies on the agency's anonymity to keep her secret. When Grace returns home one night and finds Kathleen strangled with the phone cord, she is thrust into a real-life mystery. Determined to find her sister's killer, Grace sets a trap using the same seductive voice that may have led to Kathleen's death. Detective Ed Jackson, the lead investigator, is drawn to Grace's determination and her knowledge of crime, but her actions put her in danger. As the killer watches and waits, Grace must outwit a brilliant and dangerous opponent.
