East of Niece : A Sydney Sloane Mystery / Randye Lordon

L. Lordon

New York City private investigator Sydney Sloane has pretty much seen it all - shoot-outs, terrorists, crazed murderers - and survived it all intact. Now she is forced to face her greatest fear, the one thing in the world that she hates the most: vacation. Cajoled by her lover Leslie Washburn into taking a much needed break from New York and the detective business, Sydney reluctantly finds herself in France, intending only to visit with her niece Vickie, lounge in first class hotels, drink champagne, and avoid all semblance of work.
