"You seriously want me to work with him? He’s a troglodyte!”
Nineteen-year-old Amanda Steele wanted to become a cop, like her police detective father, but she misses out on entry to police college and told to get some 'life experience'.
Much to her annoyance, she is forced to take a job as a 'Girl Friday' for a small firm of private investigators, run by old friends of her father's.
Then a high school principal hires the firm to investigate stories of drugs within the school. It's the perfect opportunity for Amanda to go undercover.
Her father chooses one of his own colleagues, a newly-transferred Detective Constable Jim Andersen, to be her liaison. He wants Jim to keep an eye on his daughter and make sure things don't get out of hand.
​
Jim considers Amanda to be spoiled and more than a little too big for her boots.
​
Amanda is no fan of his either. Yet when the case takes a turn for the worse, they are forced to work even more closely together.
Sparks will fly, in more ways than one.
Steele Factor
“Unlike some people, I can actually sing. I mean, what exactly did you call that rendition of Hotel California? Sounded more like my neighbour’s tomcat trying to serenade the ladies. Which is all good, by the way, if you’re a cat in heat.”
​
Amanda Steele and Jim Andersen have a mutual antagonism going on but even he is stunned to learn his sometime ‘frienemy’s’ talent in singing has resulted in her being asked to go undercover once again, this time as a contestant in a national, televised talent show.
​
The producers of the show are desperate to learn who is behind a number of accidents before the show has even begun and turn to Amanda’s bosses for help.
Just as Amanda gets through her audition, there is another incident and they presume it’s just another accident. Until the victim ends up dead.
This time, it’s murder.
Amanda now must work with Jim to identify the culprit while at the same time dealing with difficulties in her personal life.
This is the second in the Amanda Steele: Private Investigator series.
