Cinderella turns into a hooker who steals!

The book begins with Otto's suspicions towards somebody following him.He is a private detective who spies upon people if he gets hired for that.We find out that Otto gets shot from a person who had been following him on a Toyata.The news of Otto's death shocks Matthew Hope (The Main Character) and he tries to get into the reason he was murdered. The first suspicion goes to Carla Nettington's husband Dan because he was being followed by Otto.Otto even managed to place a voice activated microphone in Dan's girlfriend's house.But the story goes on and shifts towards two spics who had been trying to find the Cinderella.Here she is called the Cinderella because she uses a lot of different names so it is difficult to track her down and in the process killing her two step sisters.She is being hunted for having stolen a gold Rolex watch and four keys of Coke(DRUGS). She has an interesting character in the book.And all the stories end up with her. The book is really worth reading and is quite interesting. Happy Reading!
