Murder and arson are not included in the work description for most temp assignments but that is what Kyle Shannon faces while working at Choice Manufacturing.
While on a temp assignment at the corporate offices of a large manufacturer, Kyle Shannon learns that some people will do anything to get what they want. After a county politician is found dead in a forest preserve and a treasured local landmark is threatened, Kyle examines what she thinks she knows about the people she considers friends. One of them is probably a killer.
Excerpt
Firefighters slid down the ladders, their feet not touching the rungs. There was an anguished rumble inside the structure. Born in the basement, it lifted up through the first floor and passed to the second. I heard it agitate under the shingles. Then the roof slowly folded in two, collapsing into the second floor. Sparks whirled into the night sky, dancing a dervish before they blinked out above the treetops.

Written with a clear first-person voice, Linda Mickey's Greased Wheels gets off to a slightly slow start, yet spins into a fascinating story of corporate greed in the midst of small-town mentality. Kyle Shannon makes an effective, albeit reluctant sleuth, torn between her desire to maintain distance (hence the temp work) and to help a loved local icon keep his livelihood.
