The Handmaid's Doyle

Jake, after a particularly fortuitous night at the Duke, 'befriends' a maid at a fancy hotel. Not long after meeting Jake, Trisha, the maid, knowing his line of business comes to Jake with a set of unproven suspicions about guests from a particular company. Jake and Trisha soon realize that the only way that Jake will really be able to properly investigate the case is to have Jake take a job on the housekeeping crew.

Not surprisingly, the case turns out to be bigger than expected and Trisha turns out to be something other than she appeared to be. When all is said and done the Doyles figure out that the housekeepers were providing prostitution services and being 'managed' by a company that would book rooms throughout the hotel for them to 'use.' The housekeepers, in an attempt to break free of their 'management company,' were trying to get Jake to uncover some of the company's illegal actions and then have them reported to the police so that they would be free to work for themselves. Of course, once Jake realizes that Trisha will never really love him he decides to blow everything wide open, an act that had the side-benefit of further ingratiating himself to both Leslie and the hot crown prosecutor.
