The Short-Order Detective

This is a detective novel starring Hannah, a disgraced cop down on her luck. But don't mistake her for just the short-order cook she appears to be. For one thing, she may be the worst burger-flipper in South London. For another her need for ready cash and her ambition to become a private investigator won't let her settle for less. No job too small...
