Mystery Woman Sleuth
Private Investigator Cat DeLuca and her Pants on Fire
Detective Agency have a reputation for catching cheaters.
It’s a skill Cat mastered when married to her run-around
ex, Johnnie Ricco. Armed with a camera, Cat scales
balconies, dangles from hotel windows, and splashes the
bare facts on 8X10 glossies. They tend to sweeten her
clients’ divorce settlements.
Life takes a strange turn when a reporter for the Chicago
Tribune (Rita Polansky) masquerades as a client with a
liar-liar husband. Rita retains Cat to follow Chance
Savino, a steamy guy with a pocketful of smuggled
diamonds. The detective is hot on his heels when an
exploding building hurls her out of her sling-backs and
into the hospital. The FBI claims Savino was killed in the
fireworks but Cat isn’t buying it. She escapes the
hospital determined to find out.
When her client fails to show for a scheduled meeting, Cat
finds her at home with a knife in her chest. She learns
the reporter was researching a ball-buster story involving
a gangster, gun smuggling, and a pocketful of diamonds.
Cat discovers two clues in Rita’s apartment; Starburst
candy wrappers and Chance Savino rummaging through her
drawers.
Meanwhile, no one believes Chance is alive, everyone
thinks Cat’s crazy, and Cat makes a murderer’s “must kill”
list. A botched attempt puts ex husband, Johnnie Ricco on
the short list of suspects. Can Cat solve this case before
it is too late?
