Recently read: Carol Lea Benjamin’s The Hard Way

This is the second book I’ve read featuring New Yorker Rachel Alexander. A dog trainer turned private investigator, Alexander combs the haunts of the city’s homeless to find information on the death of a clothing designer. Hired by the man’s daughter, the more Alexander learns, the more she, too, is convinced that Gardner Redstone’s fall onto the subway tracks was no accident. Helped by a homeless Iraqi War vet, Alexander and her dog track down the truth.
