Tough Cookie is the second in the Maggie Sullivan series by M. Ruth Myers. It has just recently dropped to $0.99 at Amaz US, no idea why or for how long. It seems to go on sale/free from time to time, usually not for very long.

When Depression-era private investigator Maggie Sullivan is invited to dine with a millionaire, she doesn’t expect the first course to be a gun in her face. It draws her into a gold-plated web of theft, revenge, double crosses and murder.

A big-time swindle has made fools of some of the city’s wealthiest businessmen. The man behind it has vanished. When Maggie begins asking questions, he reappears – dead in the river. But she’s already learned too much. Someone’s out to silence her too.

Armed with her .38 and a nip of gin, Maggie closes in on a killer as a mobster offers a hint, a cop unsettles her with his chemistry, and a woman with deadly potential plays a game by her own rules.

Whether you favor hard-boiled or cozy, you'll add Maggie Sullivan to your list of favorite women sleuths.
