Awakened one morning by a loud commotion, New Haven police
reporter Annie
Seymour wanders outside to the cold November streets only
to discover that
Prego, a favorite Italian eatery in her upscale New Haven
neighborhood, is
engulfed in flames. Even more shocking is the dead body
pulled from the
rubble.
The unexpected arrival of her father, a Vegas casino boss,
raises Annie’s
suspicions about what might have been going on at Prego.
To complicate
things even further, the restaurant owner’s wife hires
hunky private eye
Vinny DeLucia. Annie and Vinny have some unfinished
business, but she’s
eager to stay focused on this story, until the story
becomes a little too
much about her.
Now an infamous mobster, a missing man, a dead woman, and
a cast of local
characters begin to converge around Annie and pose some
scary questions
about her father’s connection to the crime. Between the
F.B.I., her
would-be hero Vinny, and some raucous animal rights
protestors, Annie must
see through the familiar historic townhouses, worn-out
sidewalks, and back
alleys of her youth to determine a killer’s motives — and
avoid being
burned next…
