The Case of the Baby in the Velvet Case — Greg Rucka

Dex Parios, the proprietor of Stumptown Investigations, has a new office and a long list of clients she can't take on because of their involvement with crime lord Hector Marenco. So when Mim Bracca walks into her life with an open-and-shut case of a missing guitar, Dex is eager to get started, especially when the rock star pays her up front. But Dex soon discovers that it's not just the guitar that's gone missing... and she's not the only one looking for it.
