Publicist Annabelle Starkey and classic movie fan Mickey Paxton find themselves being chased from Vegas to the San Francisco area by some bad cops, a nursing home resident where Annabelle's grandmother recently died, and a lawyer who volunteered at the home. When Annabelle's cat-sitting friend is killed at Annabelle's apartment, things get really dangerous!
"Burkes debut features an appealingly offbeat set of characters caught up in a manic plot thats likely to either charm readers..." * Kirkus Reviews *
An hilarious romp through "Sin City" and San Francisco by a shiny bright new pair of Sleuths, Annabelle and Mickey. Movies, old and new, crooked cops, cats, and suspicious deaths combine to drive this first in what one can only hope will be a very long series. -- Frederick Ramsay, author of the Ike Schwartz Mysteries
