Kurzbeschreibung:

"If there's the female equivalent of macho, Wanda is it, all smart mouth and hormones...Frankel has a good eye and ear for trash culture." -Tom and Enid Schantz, The Purloined Letter NO PAIN, NO GAIN-AND NO WAY OUT A true believer in following one's appetites, Wanda Mallory, P.I., wouldn't be caught dead in a health dub...at least until she's hired by former tennis pro Jack Watson to trail his philandering wife, Ameleth Bergen, the owner of Brooklyn's trendy Western Athletic Club. There, amidst the treadmills and weight machines, the Lycra-clad elite throw themselves into the obsessive pursuit of the perfectly-toned body. It's an alien world to Wanda, who'd take a tequila shot over carrot juice any day, who'd just about kill for a cigarette, and whose sultry curves are the opposite of the lean and mean crowd. But her investigation quickly proves that marital infidelity isn't the only crime at a gym where the snack bar serves up "skinny" sundaes made of 100% forbidden fat...where a secret steroid formula has been stashed...and where the body of Ameleth's lover ends up doing a dead-man's float in the whirlpool. With a no-nonsense female cop watching her every move, Wanda searches for a killer, proving that working out can be dangerous to one's health-and life. Now the heat's on Wanda Mallory of the Do It Right Detective Agency to just do it-and solve a deadly crime. ISBN 0-671-79520-1
