Sophie Katz has just offered a man $12,000 for his
services… Is she desperate or just meshugeneh?
Considering the kind of disasters that usually befall the
half-black, half-Jewish mystery writer, probably both.
Because the last time Sophie saw sexy P.I. Anatoly
Darinsky, he practically danced a jig when she waved
goodbye—a normal reaction for a man who'd nearly bought the
farm trying to protect her from her own foolishness. What
are the chances he'd agree to take incriminating pictures
of her sister's philandering husband? Or that he'd let her
tag along—you know…for research?
But when her brother-in-law turns up dead and her sister
becomes the prime suspect, Sophie's priority is finding the
real killer. With or without Anatoly's help. Her brother-in-
law's secret life yields plenty of suspects, but the San
Francisco police aren't taking any of them seriously. So
Sophie does what comes naturally to her: she stirs up
trouble (to lure the killer out, of course).
But if her crazy plan works, will Anatoly be there to
protect her this time?
