Under Pressure: From the Casefiles of Detective "Mal" Malone
Rhodes joins Mal and the team as they come up with an elaborate plan to put Dessi down once and for all in this heart-pounding installment of the Detective Malone series. Brace for intrigue, deception, and twists. The con is on!
Mal and her unlikely team have hit enough dead ends to last a lifetime and the building threat of criminal mastermind Dessi holds them in a state of danger. One single, illegally-planted bug in the conference room of underground criminals is the ace in the hole—that is, if they can actually catch something incriminating.
Each lead guides them down another path of disappointment. Not even a side-case at a local pet store can pull the team from their plummeting spirits. Time is running out and loyalties are challenged, forcing them to attack Dessi head-on if they’re going to end this thing.
The two teams embark on a complicated game of cat and mouse, and even with all the coffee in the world, Mal doesn’t know who will come out on top.

I love the way Jen Flanagan writes these books. She has any interesting way of changing settings and characters and then switching back. All 3 books in the series have kept me up way past my bedtime. In this one the stand off between the Scoob gang and Dessi the mobster became rather intense. A great cast of characters support Detective Malone. Hopefully, there will be more in the series with adventures of the newly formed Roscoe Investigations and Security.
