The Big Dig
|
| | | Working undercover to look for fraud on Boston's Big Dig, the proposed central artery through downtown estimated at $14 billion, Carlotta poses as a secretary--but it's not as thrilling as she thought it would be. When she moonlights on a missing person case, Carlotta comes up with dead ends. But the mysterious death of a construction worker puts Carlotta in over her head. Unabridged.
Annotation:
PI Carlotta Carlyle goes undercover when equipment starts to go missing at construction sites in Boston's massive "Big Dig" project. Though she's initially not terribly excited by the work, a murder onsite piques her interest. When that is coupled with a missing persons case, Carlyle soon finds that she may have more cases that she can handle.
| Author Bio| Linda Barnes | | Linda Barnes first received critical praise in 1986, when she introduced her most popular crime solver, Carlotta Carlyle. A tall, guitar-playing, taxi-driving ex-cop and private investigator, Carlyle first appeared in a short story called "Bad Penny". Carlyle, like many of Barnes's characters, is known for her vivacious sense of humor and her wry, ironic outlook on life. Barnes graduated from Boston University with a B.F.A., taught theater in Massachusetts from 1971 to 1978, and married computer expert Richard Barnes. Among many awards she has received throughout her career, she won an Anthony Award for best short stories, and an American Mystery Award for best private eye novel. |
