Catherine Sayler has been taking some time off from her regular work as a financial P.I. when a criminal investigation catches her interest. Mitch Morrison, a loner and recovering alcoholic, has been killed, and Catherine thinks it's connected to a respected judge who sexually abused Mitch when he was a child.

Catherine learns quickly what kind of man would abuse children and how he could get away with it for years. The more she uncovers about the judge, the more she learns about the endless perils children face every day -- and the more she puts both her reputation and her life on the line....

From the Back Cover:

"Add to the list of new crime novel writers who have obvious talent and great promise the name Linda Grant. St. Petersburg Times

"Love Nor Money fulfills the promise of Grant's earlier work....The characters sparkle with originality....Written in a taut, believable style, Grant's work is easily the equal of current reigning private eye queens Sue Grafton and Sara Paretsky."

The Cleveland Plain Dealer

"She may specialize in corporate crime, but Sayler, a black belt in aikido, is no white-collar wimp."

Entertainment Weekly

From Publishers Weekly:

Guilt and revenge fuel this neatly crafted mystery, third in a series by Grant ( Blind Trust ). Furious at a client's double-cross, San Francisco PI Catherine Sayler distracts herself from revenge to investigate, at the request of her friend Joe, the death of his cousin Mitch, a recovering alcoholic who had threatened to expose the prominent jurist who molested him as a child. Judge Samuel Reiter could wallpaper his chambers with awards given him for his work with boys' clubs; unfortunately, Catherine proves he's been collecting darker rewards too. With the net drawing tight around the judge and plans for avenging herself simmering, Catherine is saddled with her alienated 14-year-old niece, Molly, who has run away from suburbia. Then the judge is killed, suspicion falls on Joe, and Molly gets kidnapped. Grant juggles her plot smoothly, keeping all balls up in the air until the very end, when readers may be disappointed at the way they fall. The scenes of Molly's rebellion against responsible adults--a nearly seamless wall of loud music, sloppy habits and weird friends with odd hairdos--offer priceless shots of Catherine wryly miffed to be labeled one of Them. Mystery Guild selection; paperback rights to Fawcett.
