Mystery Hard Boiled
2003. Rescuing her boyfriend from the long arm of the law
seems like such a good idea - until P.J. Smythe discovers
he's been cheating on her. Then the judgment part of her
brain shut down, and she's the one who lands in jail.
Fortunately, P.J.'s best friend Alicia comes to the
rescue. After all, what are friends for? 2010. Now it's payback time, and the only thing Alicia
wants is for P.J. to play the starring role in a
documentary she is filming about a novice private
investigator, learning on the job. When P.J.'s
first "client," environmentalist Vivian Remington, winds
up dead of an overdose, P.J.'s past comes back to haunt
her. The police think she supplied the drugs. To clear
things up, P.J. must take on the real-life search for a
killer. Like a good friend, Alicia steps up to help. But even that
may not be enough when P.J. finds herself facing the wrong
end of her own gun. A fast-paced, light-hearted spoof of the classic hard-
boiled whodunit, What are Friends For? explores the
lengths to which Annaplolis skip tracer P.J. Smythe must
go to dodge a murder charge, including dipping a reluctant
toe into the Washington political scene and looking into
the seamy side of the illegal trade in wildlife - all
while fending off the attentions of her former husband and
a really desperate ex-boyfriend.
