Suddenly, Maeve is thrust into one of her own crime dramas, complete with missing money, violent thugs, extortion, and conspiracy. Only this time, there is no real-life Simon Hill to come to her aid.

As Maeve and her motley crew of would-be investigators find themselves wondering if they are in over their heads, a killer lurks and won''t hesitate to kill again...
