The last word
(Book)

P.I. Izzy Spellman is on the verge of losing everything. She's used to being followed, extorted, and questioned--all occupational hazards of working at her family's firm, Spellman Investigations, though the blackmail more often comes from her relatives rather than the clients. After her hostile takeover of Spellman Investigations--which Izzy undertook in revenge for being fired for breaching client confidentiality--Izzy's parents simply go on strike, while her sister Rae returns to the family business with questionable motivations. Her other employees seem to be coping with anxiety disorders, and Izzy has no idea how to pay the bills. Then to top things off, Izzy is accused of embezzling from a former client, the ridiculously wealthy Mr. Slayter--who happens to have Alzheimer's, a small fact which he and Izzy are diligently trying to keep under wraps. Not only is Slayter's business and reputation on the line, but if Izzy gets indicted for embezzlement, she'll lose everything: her business, her license, and her family's livelihood. Is this the end of Izzy Spellman, PI?
