"Hired Gun in Philadelphia" is an intriguing mystery that presents a panoramic view of the city of Philadelphia as well as focused views of cock fighting, tango dancing, and an insider's look at the pharmaceutical industry.
The main character is Daria, who works as a legal document reviewer which, by the way, also is the main occupation of author Andrea Kaluzny.
But when a fellow worker is killed when a building in South Philly collapses, Daria turns detective with the help of a friend experienced in police investigation techniques and armed with police contacts.
Some of the clues are found in legal documents, others elsewhere.
When a tango dance instructor is killed, the plot thickens and the investigation broadens before coming back together again.

The author remembers living with the Wall, needing visas to East Germany and transit visas to return to West Germany, knew minor spies and couriers, and recalls vividly the Fall of the Wall.
Besides being well-travelled, Kaluzny is a certified Yoga instructor, former tango student, and is a historian who is interested in archeology as well as being employed as a legal document reviewer.
Andrea has been a champion for document reviewers who are seen as underdogs in the legal system but instead are quiet and unadorned, talented and creative professionals -- many highly intelligent but all hard working and underappreciated.
An attorney by profession, as a document reviewer Ms.
Kaluzny since 2007 has worked on several major international lawsuits around the world, but mainly in Philadelphia.
