Martin Sisters Publishing, Kentucky : ©2012.

Former investment banker, Pippi O'Brien, has turned to resale merchandising for a living. Now, instead of trading on the Chicago Stock Exchange, she rummages through dumpsters, hits garage sales and peruses consignments shops in search of cast-off treasures to sell on-line ... that is when she's not busy playing detective. Join Pippi as she stumbles upon the mysterious murder of one of Chicago's wealthiest suburban socialites and piles up a list of suspects and clues as disorganized as her over-stuffed apartment and as messy as her next trash-to-treasure project.
