When it comes to finding dirt, Evan Reed is the best in the business. She"s a dust-buster-a paid operative hired by political campaigns to vet candidates. She"s also a foul-mouthed, cranky ex-Catholic, attempting to raise a fourteen-year-old daughter on her own. When she"s hired to investigate the background of a squeaky-clean and charismatic senator who might just be the next president, the last thing she expects to uncover is a murder. Evan"s life is further complicated when she meets the senator"s reclusive wife-who happens to be hiding some dust of her own.
