Unwanted Company Book

Just when things seem to be going relatively well for recovering addict, ex-prostitute, ex-con, and whiz-bang auto-mechanic-cum-limo-service-magnate Miranda "Munch" Mancini and her 6-year-old adopted daughter, Asia, she encounters a world of good-intentioned hurt from an old druggie friend, Ellen. Fresh out of prison and just 16 days sober, Ellen is determined to get her life back on track. When things on the outside don't go according to plan, she turns to Munch, who does the right thing by offering Ellen a couch to sleep on and a part-time job as a limo driver. Before you can say "That Ellen, she's going to be trouble," that Ellen becomes trouble when she drives Victor, a Romanian diplomat with a taste for the seedier side of Western life, and Raleigh, a misogynistic and unscrupulous CIA agent, to Tijuana. And, naturally, she doesn't tell Munch. Serial murder, mayhem, and numerous foreign and domestic intrigues follow in Unwanted Company, ex-mechanic Barbara Seranella's fast-paced third novel. Like No Human Involved and No Offense Intended, it features a cast of well-defined if invariably impaired characters, including Munch's refreshingly normal--that is to say, normally troubled without being psychologically tortured--pal Detective Mace St. John and his partner, the self-doubting Detective Cassiletti. Stylish, spare, and finely tuned, Unwanted Company is an early entry in what promises to be a long and happy run for Barbara Seranella (certainly) and Munch Mancini (please). --Michael HudsonRead More

  • Product Description

    National bestselling author Barbara Seranella shows that business and friendship make for an explosive mix in her third riveting, rough-and-tumble thriller, Unwanted Company.

    Miranda "Munch" Mancini has seen the worst of times, but she's still looking for the best. Munch is a recovering addict who, in addition to her gig as an auto mechanic, has started her own limousine service with one Cadillac, little cash, and a lot of effort. She's her own boss now, which means she can't afford to turn down a client, even when a seedy government type offers her big money up front to drive around a foreign businessman for a week.

    The problems start when Munch promises to hire Ellen, an old friend fresh out of prison. Next thing Munch knows, Ellen, her client, and her one car are missing in action, and the police are at her door. With Ellen's shady past and flaky ways, Munch can only imagine the trouble her friend may have gotten herself into.

    Though Munch's hands are clean this time, from her past run-ins with the law, she knows her freedom and her safety aren't guaranteed until the truth is made clear. With the custody of her adoptive daughter on the line, and Ellen's life in jeopardy, there's nothing that Munch won't do to help her pal, police detective Mace St. John, solve this dangerous case. But if there's a cold blooded criminal in town responsible for a series of brutal murders, what can Munch do--that won't get her killed--to stop him?

    Unwanted Company is a captivating ride with a uniquely street-smart, hands-on, hold-her-own heroine behind the wheel.
