Dex is the proprietor of Stumptown Investigations, and a fairly talented P.I. Unfortunately, she's less adept at throwing dice than solving cases. Her recent streak has left her beyond broke - she's into the Confederated Tribes of the Wind Coast for 18 large. But maybe Dex's luck is about to change. Sue-Lynne, head of the Wind Coast's casino operation, will clear Dex's debt if she can locate Sue-Lynne's missing granddaughter. But is this job Dex's way out of the hole or a shove down one much much deeper?… (more)

Basically the story that inspired the TV pilot episode. But not quite the same. Enjoyable. But I liked the second volume ([b:Stumptown, Vol. 2: The Case of the Baby in the Velvet Case|17569392|Stumptown, Vol. 2 The Case of the Baby in the Velvet Case|Greg Rucka|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1414712033l/17569392._SY75_.jpg|24507296]) better.

I wanted to read this mainly because the Tv adaptation is coming out this month and I wanted to have a little background for it. I enjoyed this for what it was and I look forward to seeing how the adaptation handles everything. (

Solid book! Love how the main character has to care for her disabled brother. Reminded me of my kids. (

The show is handling this story better, which I didn't think would be the case. (

Very fun hard boiled PI story. That fact that it's set in Portland, and made by a writer from Portland helps. I'm looking forward to whenever the next graphic novel in the series comes out, because this is great, and I look forward to reading more. (
