Böcker i John Headston Pi-serien

John Headston is a private detective who, early in his career, was very successful, running a 12-man operation called THE HEADSTONE DETECTIVE AGENCY, mainly because the guy who painted the name on the door added the "e" at the end without realizing it was wrong.As the book opens, however, Headston is now 50, and the agency is down to just him. In his past he had run-ins with not only the law, but with the New York State Agency who had licensed him. As a result he spent some time in jail, and had his license revoked. Now he has it back, and is trying to get started again.His first case is a missing persons case, a wealthy woman whose husband just seems to have vanished from his Wall Street stockbroker job. Headston finds the man, who is now living under very odd circumstances, but the missing persons case quickly turns to murder. Aided by a tattooed young lady who decides she should work for him, Headston decides to work on the murder case, while attempting to avoid running afoul of the law and having his licensed revoked again-and possibly for good, this time.

John Headston took a bad step 12 years ago, and it cost him his freedom and his career. But now that he's been pardoned, and has reopened his Headstone Detective Agency, he's ready to start again. But into his office walks the woman who was the reason he lost it all, and she wants to use him again. She wants him to find out who's trying to kill her wealthy, older husband. Will Headston risk it all again, or will he realize the folly of that action and turn her down?
