en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 oct 2018
Welcome to Private Eye School! The homework will kill you. Lacey Smithsonian's journalism career is going nowhere fast. After collaring killers, saving lives, rescuing homeless children, and recovering priceless jewels (which she didn't get to keep), she's still stuck on the fashion beat at the third-string newspaper in Washington, D.C. (The City Fashion Forgot). She needs a "serious" beat. What's a savvy reporter to do? Why not take a private eye class! Polish her investigative skills, learn to sleuth like a pro (like her boyfriend, Vic Donovan), and perhaps even land a non-fashion-related news story or two, while keeping it all under cover. But then she meets her crazy classmates, stumbles over the haute-coutured corpse in the Jaguar, spends a girls' night out at the gun range, and flunks Surveillance 101. All Lacey wanted was a shot at a new beat! So why are people shooting at her? And can she hit the bull's eye before the killer shoots again? Welcome to Private Eye School! The homework will kill you.
