PimPage: An Occasional Feature in Which I Call Interesting Books to Your Attention

Helen Hawthorne's had a lot of dead-end jobs. Now she's opened a private-investigations agency. Her first job requires her to join a gym and get back into shape. Then she gets another case, one from out of the past. Hilarity ensues, as it does in all the books in this series.

Viets has had all kinds of jobs in researching her books. This time she took classes in private investigations, went to body-building competitions, and checked out the hunks at the local gym. You can pre-order a copy of her book here or at your local independent bookseller's fine store.
