Sophie Katz has just offered a man $12,000 for his services... Is she desperate or just meshugeneh?

Considering the kind of disasters thatusually befall the half-black, half-Jewishmystery writer, probably both. Becausethe 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 toprotect her from her own foolishness. What are the chances he'dagree to take incriminating pictures of her sister's philanderinghusband? Or that he'd let her tag along--you know...for research?

But when her brother-in-law turns up dead and her sister becomesthe prime suspect, Sophie's priority is finding the real killer. Withor without Anatoly's help. Her brother-in-law's secret life yieldsplenty of suspects, but the San Francisco police aren't taking anyof 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 protecther this time?
