About This Book
Meet Isabel "Izzy" Spellman, private investigator. This
twenty-eight-year-old may have a checkered past littered with romantic
mistakes, excessive drinking, and creative vandalism; she may be
addicted to Get Smart reruns and prefer entering homes through windows
rather than doors -- but the upshot is she's good at her job as a
licensed private investigator with her family's firm, Spellman
Investigations. Invading people's privacy comes naturally to Izzy. In
fact, it comes naturally to all the Spellmans. If only they could leave
their work at the office. To be a Spellman is to snoop on a Spellman;
tail a Spellman; dig up dirt on, blackmail, and wiretap a Spellman.
Part Nancy Drew, part Dirty Harry, Izzy walks an indistinguishable line
between Spellman family member and Spellman employee. Duties include:
completing assignments from the bosses, aka Mom and Dad (preferably
without scrutiny); appeasing her chronically perfect lawyer brother
(often under duress); setting an example for her fourteen-year-old
sister, Rae (who's become addicted to "recreational surveillance"); and
tracking down her uncle (who randomly disappears on benders dubbed "Lost
Weekends"). But when Izzy's parents hire Rae to follow her (for the
purpose of ascertaining the identity of Izzy's new boyfriend), Izzy
snaps and decides that the only way she will ever be normal is if she
gets out of the family business. But there's a hitch: she must take one
last job before they'll let her go -- a fifteen-year-old, ice-cold
missing person case. She accepts, only to experience a disappearance far
closer to home, which becomes the most important case of her life.
The Spellman Files is the first novel in a winning and hilarious new
series featuring the Spellman family in all its lovable chaos.
