Description

After an uneventful career as a securities attorney at her family's financial advisory firm in Boston, Pauline Insill, at 69, revives her true calling in life-a promising career she began at age 16 and was ordered to give up. As a novice private investigator in Colorado Springs, Pauline selectively challenges cold cases. Her work, however, is not easy, for the novice P.I. encounters resistance, ridicule, and rejection from key prosecutors, sheriffs, and police detectives.Only when she presents her astonishing solutions do her critics listen; and quickly, they position themselves to take credit for solving the cases, reducing the P.I.'s masterly work to a passing footnote of acknowledgment. Getting positive results for her clients is Pauline Insill's priority, not who stands in the media spotlight. Fate, however, has an atoning way of eventually calling the unsung hero up on stage; and, for Pauline, fame that eluded her decades ago now tenaciously pursues her as her cases advance from bottom-drawer to cause célèbre, taking her from Colorado to England.
