This is a collection of the Lillian Byrd Crime Novels, books 4 through 6 by Elizabeth Sims. They're all here, full and complete!

EASY STREET [Book 4]
Lillian Byrd's battered Caprice is convulsing through the last of its death throes; her pet rabbit, Todd, ails; and as usual she's single-and flat broke. For a few extra bucks she signs on to help an old friend, retired police detective Erma Porrocks, renovate her house, but of course nothing ever goes smoothly in the life of Lillian Byrd. The end of her first day on the job yields a partially demolished wall, a mysterious stash of cash, and a fresh corpse. And Lillian's attentions are diverted by the appearance of a drop-dead gorgeous neighbor.

Nonetheless, Lillian throws herself into chasing down every complex thread, especially after Porrocks is injured in a suspicious accident. The action ranges from Porrocks's Detroit riverfront neighborhood to a nursing home in Cleveland, where Lillian and Todd pose as animal therapy workers to shamelessly coax information from an elderly resident. From there Lillian goes undercover to Boise, Ft. Lauderdale, and points beyond, facing deception and danger the whole way-as well as the bewildering emergence of her own dark side.

LEFT FIELD [Book 5]
Lillian Byrd has been searching her soul after the gut-wrenching experience of killing someone in self-defense. Scrabbling to make ends meet, she takes a job as a quasi detective, solving life's little mysteries for a pair of eccentric women in one of Detroit's last prestigious neighborhoods. When she spots a corpse on the next-door lawn, she jumps back into honest work as an investigative journalist.

Her friend Mercedes reveals that the dead woman, Abby Rawson, played on a women's softball team she manages and pressures Lillian into taking her spot. Softball turns to hardball when Lillian not only plunges into a love affair with the team's sought-after pitcher but also goes undercover as an exterminator, a squatter, and a charity worker to investigate Abby's death and the corrupt medical organization she worked for. No one on the team is above suspicion, and as they get closer to snagging the coveted championship title-and Lillian gets closer to discovering the dark truth behind Abby's murder-she fights to keep her new love in her life and literally save her own.

TIGHT RACE [Book 6]
For once, life is good for Lillian Byrd: She's working as the media liaison for Detroit mayoral candidate Leon Sorrel, and getting paid for it, too! But she's courting danger by conducting a torrid affair with the married campaign manager, Marie Chamberlain. After discovering Marie and her husband dead in a catastrophic double murder, Lillian lands in a soup of suspicion, and Sorrel's in trouble too.

Sorrel's opponent, the incumbent mayor Andromeda Jacobs, isn't above using dirty tricks to win, aided by a crooked cop and a venomous gossip columnist...
