Someone was trading in something far rarer than exotic tobacco--something worth much more than easy cash, to somebody who was prepared to kill for it. And when Eli's roommate turned up dead, Robin discovered she might be next in line. . ."This female PI ranks right up there with the tough-guy detectives in taking her lumps and dishing them out as well." --Library Journal"Barbara Block's Robin Light mysteries are some of the best on the market today." --Midwest Book Review
