Description

"Nikki Griffin is one spectacular heroine...One Got Away is one seriously entertaining read." —USA Today
Private investigator Nikki Griffin is on a case.
The reclusive matriarch of one of San Francisco's wealthiest and most private families has been defrauded by a con-man, and her furious son enlists Nikki to find the money. And find the con-man, Dr. Geoffrey Coombs.
Nikki isn't a fan of men who hurt people. Quietly running her used bookstore by day, her secret mission, born of revenge and trauma, is to do everything she can to remove the innocent from dangerous situations—and punish the men responsible.
It seemed like a simple job, but as Coombs leads Nikki on a trail littered with deceptions, she realizes that he's not the only one lying: no one involved is telling her the truth.
As Nikki draws closer to Coombs and learns more about who he really is, she is taken aback to realize that she is starting to enjoy the chase—and that the two of them might share more in common than she would like to admit.
But while she closes in on Coombs, others are looking for him, too. As Nikki glimpses secrets that powerful people want to remain hidden, she begins to suspect that lives are in peril.
From breathtaking cliffside resorts to the shady underworld of stolen cars, from drug-filled trailers to the city's loftiest penthouses, Nikki slowly uncovers the deep rot at the center of the case. She is forced to make terrible choices about who to help—and how to keep herself alive.
If she can fit the pieces together in time, she just might be able to save them all.
PI Nikki Griffin – a badass bookseller who punishes abusers – is back in S. A. Lelchuk's One Got Away...

        February 15, 2021
        In the follow-up to Save Me From Dangerous Men (2019), bookseller/private detective Nikki Griffin lands in hot water when she takes on a wealthy new client. Business is booming at Brimstone Magpie, Nikki's Berkeley bookstore, and she's found contentment with her English professor boyfriend, Ethan, who wants her to move in with him. Contentment doesn't quite suit Nikki, however, so she's raring to go when she scores new client Martin Johannessen, who happens to come from one of San Francisco's wealthiest families. Martin says his octogenarian mother has been blackmailed by the charming and much younger Geoffrey Coombs, a suspected con man. Coombs' trail leads Nikki to a ritzy Monterey hotel, and despite herself, Nikki finds herself attracted to the handsome, smooth-mannered psychologist, who seems to see her for who she really is: a woman who loves being on the edge of danger. Nikki's scenes with Coombs, chock full of snappy dialogue, are right out of a black-and-white noir, but, unfortunately, their time together culminates in his abduction by some very bad men who threaten to fit him with concrete shoes. Coombs may have been up to something nefarious, but allowing him to be killed by these guys is not in Nikki's playbook, and after Martin terminates her contract, she's hired by his mother, Marie, who is most definitely not helpless or a victim. Marie wants Nikki to save Coombs, and it will undoubtedly be dangerous, but Nikki has friends in high and low places who are always eager to help. She even gets a boost from Mason, an inquisitive 12-year-old she meets by chance. Nikki has a moral imperative to mete out justice that is fueled by childhood tragedy. Those who dare to underestimate her are in for a nasty surprise, and she's not afraid to use a little violence to help those who can't help themselves. The nearly fearless and deeply empathetic Nikki is ridiculously easy to root for, and the pace is fast and furious all the way to a deeply satisfying finale. A smashing sequel. More please.

        March 1, 2021
        Lelchuk's Save Me from Dangerous Men (2019) introduced Nikki Griffin, a bookstore owner who's also a private detective--one who turns the tables on abusers. In this second book in the series, Griffin turns to glamour as a disguise when she's hired to expose a possible con man who is in a relationship with a wealthy elderly woman. But when the con man himself becomes a victim, Griffin's grittier skills are brought into play as she fights her way through San Francisco's criminal underbelly. A minor plotline involves a child sidekick who's too young to be credible in the role, but otherwise fans of the first book or of hard-boiled women detectives in general will relish this heroine's latest outing, especially given that Lelchuk's writing is more nuanced and atmospheric than that found in hard-boiled mysteries of old. Those who followed the grisly antics of TV's Dexter are another audience, though Griffin's work is happily less gory than Dexter's. A fine choice for mystery collections.
