The Carlotta Carlyle Mysteries Volume Two: Snapshot, Hardware, Cold Case, and Flashpoint

"The most refreshing, creative female character to hit mystery fiction since Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone" is back—in four more fast-paced crime thrillers (People).

Six-foot-tall, redheaded ex-cop and Boston-based private eye Carlotta Carlyle is "the genuine article: a straightforward, funny, thoroughly American mystery heroine" (New York Post).

Snapshot: A series of strange photos draws Carlotta into a chilling case of medical malpractice.

"Snapshot is destined to secure Barnes' position in the hotshot ranks of detective fiction." —Arizona Republic

Hardware: After a series of assaults on cabbies, Carlotta's moonlighting job as a taxi driver turns into the most dangerous, high-octane case of her career.

"Ms. Barnes makes a fist and puts some muscle in this strong plot about an extortionist scheme to corner the market in the taxi medallions." —The New York Times Book Review

Cold Case: Hired to find a long-missing novelist, Carlotta gets tangled up in a cutthroat political campaign.

"With a stylish pro like Barnes doing the plotting, this chilling case won't leave you cold." —People

Flashpoint: Carlotta tries not to get scorched when an arsonist targets her.

"[Flashpoint] further cement[s] [Carlotta's] place in the pantheon of contemporary P.I.s." —Chicago Tribune
