Our Lady of Immaculate Deception
by Nancy Martin
Big truck, big dog, big hair. Bad attitude.
Roxy Abruzzo,
bestseller Nancy Martin’s latest creation, is a loud-mouthed, sexy,
independent-minded niece of a Pittsburgh Mafia boss trying to go
(mostly) straight. She’d like to stay completely out of her uncle
Carmine’s shady business dealings, though he's trying to reel her in.
She'd like to concentrate on the architectural salvage business she runs
mostly on the up and up for a tidy profit. She'd like to keep her
rebellious teenage daughter on the straight and narrow. But Roxy knows
where all the good intentions in the world usually lead, and when she
can’t help herself from tucking away an ancient Greek statue that's not
really hers, she pays for it by getting caught up in the chaos
surrounding the sordid murder of the statue’s former owner, heir to a
billion-dollar Pittsburgh steel fortune.
Of course, she has
plenty of help getting in and out of trouble, including her sidekick
“Nooch” Santonucci, too dumb to say no to whatever Roxy wants to do and
strong enough to do it; her widowed aunt Loretta, a lawyer whose big
hair and short skirts are as big a help to her in court as her brains;
and Patrick Flynn, ex-marine, professional chef, and former high school
flame, fresh from Afghanistan to torture Roxy, just like old times.
