quote = IT'S NOT fun to f*** strangers for money. It's not fun and it's not romantic, either. There are a lot of fairy tales and myths about the world's oldest profession, but unless you've done it you can't possibly know what it's like to sell your body. Arlene Hunt is a thirty one year old from Wicklow. She worked as a prostitute in Dublin for five years, before being rescued, she says, by a handsome man, who whisked her off to Barcelona where she now lives happily ever after. Extremely happily.] She used her experiences as the basis for her first book "Vicious Circle".

Characters

Her first book was a standalone novel but the following book introduced the characters of John Quigley and Sarah Kenny who run QuicK Investigations, a private detective firm in Dublin. They began as a fledgling company in False Intentions but have found their feet and gained more experience as time has passed.

John and Sarah have a past history as lovers but when John cheated on Sarah she left him and moved to England. There she became involved with a dangerous character who comes back to haunt her in Missing Presumed Dead. In recent times their relationship has softened and there are hints they could get back together in a romantic manner.
