Foxy Roxy : A Roxy Abruzzo Mystery

Big truck, big dog, big hair. Bad attitude.

Roxy Abruzzo, bestseller Nancy Martin's latest creation, is the sexy, streetwise niece of a Pittsburgh crime boss, and she's trying to stay on the straight and narrow . . . most of the time. But now and then temptation is just too much for hot-blooded Roxy. As she prowls the mean streets looking for architectural treasures, she can't help swiping an ancient Greek statue that's not exactly hers. Then the statue's owner, heir to a billion-dollar steel fortune, gets himself killed, and the police investigation sweeps Roxy into a mess that requires all of her wits and wiles to escape. All this plus a dotty grand dame, a slippery lawyer, and an avaricious socialite or two makes for a lethal combination of danger and desperation—with Roxy in the middle.

With her wicked sense of humor and a devilishly clever premise, author of the beloved Blackbird Sisters mysteries, Nancy Martin has started another outstanding mystery series with Foxy Roxy.*

“A hilarious combination of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum and Lisa Scottoline's Bennie Rosato” —The Times-Picayune

“Light years away from Agatha Christie's Miss Marple, and is grittier and more sexual than Laura Lippman's Tess Monaghan.” —Pittsburgh Tribune Review

“In this stellar first in a new series, Martin introduces Roxy Abruzzo, ultra-sexy Pittsburgh sleuth . . . a tough girl like Evanovich's Stephanie Plum. . . . A wild cat-and-mouse game with a killer that will leave Martin's fans clamoring for more.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
