Like Lizbeth Salander meets Charlie's Angels, Clare is a detective for the new generation. This series is fun, edgy, and comes with a profanity warning.

Death Plays Poker takes Clare undercover as a poker player on a world class, televised tournament. Her task: to find the killer among players whose profession makes them experts at disguise.

Dead Politician Society is Clare's rookie assignment: She has to pose as university student, penetrate a secret society, and find out who has been poisoning local politicians.
