Holland Taylor returns in Girl in a Dumpster, the sixth book in David Housewright's Edgar Award-winning hardboiled detective series. Party girl Henrietta Weller wakes up one morning in a dumpster behind a bar in Minneapolis' notorious north side with no memory of how she got there. She hires Taylor and his partner Sidney Poitier Fredericks to get answers. And revenge. "So there's no misunderstanding later-someone threw me away like so much garbage. Someone is going to pay for that." Taylor soon discovers that the woman was kidnapped and ransomed back to her mother. What's more, she wasn't the only victim. A sophisticated kidnapping ring has targeted the daughters of Minnesota's rich and famous-and infamous. Taylor and Freddie insist that the FBI be informed. However, a financial guru and fixer for the families demands that the incidents be dealt with and forgotten. Until there's another kidnapping. And another. And Taylor and Freddie are forced to take matters into their own hands-no matter what the cost. Critical Acclaim for Girl in a Dumpster: "Girl in a Dumpster marks the return of Holland Taylor and what a welcome return it is! Not to be missed!" -D.M. Barr, author of the domestic thriller Deadly When Disturbed "I wished I had written it... a riveting, edge of your seat gumshoe thriller in the tradition of Sam Spade." -Vincent Zandri, New York Times and USA Today bestselling Thriller and Shamus Award-winning author of Moonlight Weeps "A gritty but surprisingly heartfelt PI novel; the kind you thought they don't write anymore, but David Housewright does." - Scott McCrea, author of Targets West "A solid, traditional private eye story filled with plenty of twists and turns and featuring a solid, traditional private eye-the tough guy with a soft center who plays by his own rules. You won't want to put it down before the heart-stopping but satisfying finish." -Austin Camacho, Coordinator, Creatures, Crimes & Creativity Con "David Housewright belongs up there with Parker, Crais, and others who have created the private eyes we follow to the ends of the earth just to hear their singular voice." -Charles Philipp Martin, author of the Inspector Lok novels Rented Grave and Neon Panic "Despite the awards, Housewright has been crime fiction's best kept secret for years. Girl in a Dumpster is an excellent place to jump into this wonderful series." -Rick Ollerman, author of Truth Always Kills "David Housewright has done it again - weaving complex crime, in this case sophisticated kidnapping; political intrigue; and the tenaciousness of P.I. Holland Taylor and his partner, Freddie, to create a riveting story. Nothing is straight forward or as it seems, but the book rings true. A must read." -Debra H. Goldstein, award-winning crime fiction author "Holland Taylor is back. That's the main thing. But Girl in a Dumpster also offers a twisty plot and an irresistible nest-of-vipers cast. Sit back, trust no one, and enjoy the read" -Albert Tucher, author of Pele's Prerogative and The Same Mistake Twice
