All she wanted to do was live an unnoticed life in her brownstone, working at the library and chasing down idiot cops who took her books on stakeouts.

Of course, there are problems with that, such as the fact that she’s considered an interesting research specimen by some of the more amoral companies. Her tendency to stick her nose in where it probably shouldn’t be. A love-hate relationship with various alcoholic beverages.

Oh yes, and the fact that she’s still on parole.
