Tracy Hayes, P.I. and Proud (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789527061213)

Dumpsters and dead bodies. Just an ordinary day for a P.I.

I was climbing out of a dumpster when I found the body. It was wedged between the wall and the large trash container, and couldn't be seen except from where I was perched. A good thing, then, that I was there.

Tracy is not having a good day: first she falls into a dumpster and then she finds a body. A dead body. At least the suspect seems obvious. A cheating spouse Tracy's been tracking. The only problem is, he has an alibi - one provided by Tracy herself.

Tracy doesn't despair. With the help of her enigmatic boss, she sets out to uncover the truth that turns out to be more complicated than she had anticipated. And while she's at it, she might as well sort out her roommate's love life, have a fight or two with her ex-husband, and take up jogging. With or without the help of spandex sportswear and her boss.

All in all, an ordinary day for Tracy. Until the guns come out.
