Life after crime from the International Booker-shortlisted author of Elena Knows. Fifteen years after killing her husband's lover, Inés is fresh out of prison and trying to put together a new life. Her old friend Manca is out now too, and they've started a business – FFF, or Females, Fumigation, and Flies – dedicated to pest control and private investigation, by women, for women.

But Señora Bonar, one of their clients, wants Inés to do more than kill bugs – she wants her expertise, and her criminal past, to help her kill her husband's lover, too.

Crimes against women versus crimes by women; culpability, fallibility, and our responsibilities to each other—this is Piñeiro at her wry, earthy best, alive to all the ways we shape ourselves to be understandable, to be understood, by family and love and other hostile forces.

Naim Butler, a rainmaker, has perfected the art of sentencing mitigation as a partner with Manhattan power-firm, Baker and Keefe. He's the kind of captivating and accomplished man that therapists vent to. His bachelorhood is turned upside down when an old flame, Sinia Love, drops a seventeen-year-old son into his lap, forcing him to balance this revelation and his budding romance with Brandy Scott.

Professionally, Naim is assigned to prove a man's innocence of murder. This task is filthy work itself, but becomes catastrophic when an envious lover of Sinia Love's sets out to kill him while hiding among the glitterati of Manhattan's upper crust.

Explore the well-developed relationships among the characters as they propel the story forward, bringing suspense to a thrilling climax.

Now, for the second time, Harry must hunt down a ruthless death-dealer before he strikes again. Careening through a blood-tracked quest, Harry will go from the hard edges of the L.A. night to the last place he ever wanted to go--the darkness of his own heart...
