Summary of Book One - Two Stories

The Lettuce Caper Her name is Mary Parks. She is a private investigator (P.I.). She is young, she is beautiful, but most of all she is smart. The F.B.I. has a lead on the smuggling of cocaine; they never drop a lead until every angle is investigated. This lead leads to where Mary Parks has worked since she was fourteen years old. The small grocery chain becomes the focus of attention. Live to Die Mary Parks is hired by a large cattle owner who is personally involved in a who-killed-who-and-why? Three people are plotting to kill one of the three. Why? There is no significant amount of money involved, no jewelry, no large insurance policies, no affairs are present, past or now. The word “boredom” pops up, but is boredom a reason to kill? Is there any reason to kill? Let’s see how Mary Parks will solve this mystery. Read on and maybe, just maybe, the answer will come up.
