Books like Bucket nut by Liza Cody
Set in London, *Bucket Nut* follows Eva Wylie, a professional wrestler turned junkyard security guard, as she bounces between odd jobs and surreptitious tasks for Mr. Cheng. Eva robs wallets, collects protection payments, and even rescues a stoned backup singer named Goldie during a raid, all while keeping her own secrets tucked away. The story is peppered with encounters—such as a police bust and a backup singer's enigma—and the interference of PI Anna Lee, who is on the trail of someone else entirely. The novel blends crime, humor, and an off‑the‑wall heroine, lending the adventure more of a rambunctious title than a tightly plotted mystery.
First publish date: 1992
