MURDER, ACTUALLY is a collection of true adventures. A private detective takes you into her world of stories, stakeouts, courtrooms, and characters. The title story, Murder, Actually, is told one glass of wine at a time, one woman to another late at night one winter in Manhattan. The Passion of Mr. Yu is a love story or is it? It's filled with yearning, deception, and more money than you can imagine. A Black Eye, a White Lie takes you to Paris where the author deals with a sophisticated money launderer in glamorous surroundings, reporting back to New York after every flirtatious encounter. "It reads like a magic carpet ride." --James C. Esposito, F.B.I. Special Agent in Charge (ret) "Cici's memoir ... leaves you a little breathless and admiring of her courage and determination." --Jerry Schmetterer, former Metro Editor of the NY Daily News, and author of Crooked Brooklyn and The Murder Curtain
