Private Investigator Delanie Fitzgerald and her computer hacker partner Duncan Reynolds are working on some of their more mundane cases in The Tulip Shirt Murders by Heather Weidner. When strip club owner Chaz Smith hires them to prove his friend's son is not a murderer, things begin to move quickly.

Hired by a local music producer to find the people bootlegging his CDs, Delanie finds her bootleggers at a local flea market and decides to follow one of them to see where the copying is taking place. When she stakes out the farm where he lives, she notices many different people heading in and out and wonders what else is going on.

After several visits to the farm, she finds herself involved in more than copyright thieves, especially when she comes head to head with a multi-jurisdictional investigation and the FBI. With that case cleared, Delanie and Duncan focus on the murder.

Even though the three other murders took place in three different locations and the victims have no

discernible link, Duncan keeps plugging away to find a pattern. When Delanie's friend Robin is attacked in a frighteningly similar way to the other victims, Delanie hears her whisper "Tulip Shirt" before she loses consciousness.

With this sliver of a lead, she and Duncan continue to search to discover the link. When they discover the connection, Delanie infiltrates the company to find proof of who the killer is.

A fast-paced mystery, packed with lots of action and two quirky lead characters.
