The Violet Society. Are you ready? When Lacey, Meg, and The Family find themselves buckled into airplane seats and jetting across the Atlantic Ocean, it's not a sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride sort of flight. Between Meg's new diet, Lacey's feverish wedding nightmares, and an unwanted stowaway, the gang's first trip out of the country promises to be one chaotic disaster. As the wheels touch down in Milan, Lacey Luzzi Security Services are back in business in a serious way. The Violet Society, a group of elite, uber-stealthy criminals, have come out of hiding-and Lacey's tasked with finding them. As if gelaterias and house wines aren't enough of a distraction, Anthony is swept away by secret business, Carlos uncovers a friend from his past, and Nora's convinced she's got a new grandbaby. Despite all this, if Lacey can't put a stop to the thefts, her client will be out millions of dollars. Even worse? If The Violet Society finds her first, she'll have a lot more to worry about than a few missing jewels. ** ** Lacey Luzzi: Suckered is a full-length, humorous cozy mystery with a strong female protagonist in the spirit of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum, albeit one working for the wrong side of the law... Note: This book can be read as a standalone, though it is part of a larger series and not all plot lines are resolved in a single book. It is rated a strong PG-13 for sarcasm and mild language. No graphic gore or sex.
