Right up my ally and just what I felt like reading and how can you not want to after a description like that. As it was promised I was excited to read a book where the heroine starts off awesome already, doesn't grow to be awesome so the ride was on from the first page. I loved the plot and the characters and will definitely come back for more! Super duper awesome!

Detroit rules by Linda Style.
STREET LAW: Whatever it takes…
Disillusioned attorney turned private investigator Charlie Street’s life shattered when her father was convicted of murder and killed in prison. Convinced he was framed, she vowed to find who was responsible and see them pay.
Detective Remington Malone’s best friend has disappeared…the case has gone cold, but nothing, not even the threat of losing his job, can keep Remy from investigating. And as the bodies of his snitches start piling up, it’s clear someone besides the chief of police wants to stop him.
Remy needs the best PI in town, and that’s Charlie Street. Except there’s bad blood between the investigator and Detroit’s finest. The last thing Charlie wants is to work with a cop. But when she sees a link between Remy’s case and her father’s…it’s a job she can’t refuse. Soon, Charlie and Remy are mired in the dark world of human trafficking, running from the mob―and fixed in the crosshairs of a killer.
A fantastic read with brilliant characters.  I loved how Charlie and Remy were together. Brilliant. 5*.

While it's been a few years since this came out, I just recently got my hands on it...how could a native Detroit pass up a local novel ;) I do hope the fact that it is having recent promotion means there will be more books in the series.

I was disappointed with a few things throughout the book, mostly the misreferences to how a Detroit would speak certain things. Overall though it was a well written story with a few surprises and twists that made it very enjoyable to read. I hope to see more of Charlie as a kick-butt female lead in the future.
