Sobre IBD

Social worker Louisa Daniel is in her sixties, recently divorced, harried, and always late to work, to the consternation of Charles, her boss at the Contra Costa County social service agency where she is employed. The fatal 'accident' of Letitia, a co-worker, changes Louisa’s life and turns her into an amateur sleuth. She discovers that Letitia had been moonlighting as a call girl, and that she had information on the Strengs, a family connected to the agency, which sealed her fate. Zoe Streng is trying to adopt a baby through the agency, and her brother, Percival, is Louisa’s boss’ lover, resulting in a complicated list of suspects. Will Louisa find the murderer in time? Or will she too fall victim to the plots surrounding the social service agency?
