    About this ebook

    A woman tries to save a friend before her old life catches up to her, in a tale by a writer who “brings rare street credibility to her crime mysteries” (The Miami Herald).
     
    Once a junkie biker chick, Miranda “Munch” Mancini has transformed her life to become a high-class mechanic, respected businesswoman, and mother. But life hasn’t been as forgiving for her old friend Ellen Summers. Munch and Ellen were inseparable in their youth, but when Munch went straight, Ellen went to prison.
     
    On the day before she’s to be released, Ellen’s mother and stepfather are murdered. When the killer threatens Ellen, she turns to Munch as the only person she can trust. While Munch questions some of her friend’s story, the danger she is in proves to be all too real. Munch is determined to find the murderer and save her friend one last time—before the killer ends her crime-solving days for good.
     
    “There’s no more interesting protagonist in crime fiction. . . . Don’t miss this series.” —Chicago Tribune
     
    “Munch proves herself again to be a likable and earnest character with a tough side that is explained by glimpses into her dark past. Her romantic entanglement with a police officer promises interesting times ahead.” —Booklist

    Barbara Seranella

    Barbara Seranella grew up in Pacific Palisades, California. After a restless childhood that included running away from home at the age of fourteen, joining a hippie commune in the Haight, and riding with outlaw motorcycle clubs, she decided to settle down and do something normal---she became an auto mechanic, and that was the occupation she chose for her heroine when she switched from fixing cars to writing about them. She was best known for her Munch Mancini series of crime novels. Her novel Deadman's Switch was to be the first of a planned new series, but sadly, after a long and brave fight against liver disease, Seranella died in January 2007, at the age of fifty.
