Synopsis:
Private Detective Claire DeNardo is afraid of everything. Simple things like balloons, roller coasters, and hairpieces make her knees knock loud enough to be a band’s rhythm section. Unfortunately, the only job Claire can find is working for her Uncle Gino in his seedy detective agency. Until now, her cases have all been middle-aged men with trophy wives who needed watching. But Claire gets swept up in a murder case despite being afraid of conflict, bodily harm, and hurting anyone’s feelings. She enlists a jaded security guard, Ed, to help her. But when Ed is attacked and left comatose, Claire must stumble along by herself. Both the client who hired her and the handsome police detective want her off the case. When the wrong person is charged, it’s up to the terrified detective, to summon all the courage she can to find the true killer.

We all live in fear, or one sort or another; the way we develop mechanisms for coping is fascinating
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Richard. I cope with humor. Claire, my protagonist used avoidance. That's a bit difficult now though since she's a PI. Leads to lots of interesting turns.
ReplyDeleteFear is a weird thing...sometimes it can freeze your reactions, and other times it can spur you into acting. I've been known to use avoidance, but also barreling through.
ReplyDeleteSometimes barreling through is the only way to get it done. Plus then it may not come up again.
