bad company: from the casefiles of detective "mal" malone

Loner private eye Mal has three goals as she navigates the mean streets of Chicago: Avoid the local mafia, keep an eye on the smoking-hot fire captain, and maintain a steady stream of coffee in her veins.

Unfortunately, one of those things is proving a lot easier to manage than the other two.
Determined to prove her worth, Mal jumps ship from the police academy to open her own private investigator agency. She has the training but going solo might not have been the best decision...for a long life, that is.

Stumbling upon a crime she can’t ignore, even if it doesn’t fund her ten-cups-a-day coffee addiction, a sizzling fire captain stands between her and the solid lead she needs. Unlikely new friends come to her aid...wait doesn’t she do things on her own? Either way, now she has to keep them out of the gangster’s crosshairs as well.

If Mal can’t crack the case soon, she’ll not only fail at keeping her friends safe, but she could become a target herself.

Follow local PI Mal through the streets of Chicago, slinging back coffee, and avoiding the local mafia.
