Book excerpt: New York Times-Bestselling Author: A PI-in-training gets drawn into a dysfunctional family fighting over money and murder… Some days are just weird city. Take today. Jane Kelly, thirtysomething ex-bartender, current process server, and owner of The Binkster, a pug, is dutifully putting in slave-labor hours working for Dwayne Durbin, local “information specialist” (i.e., private investigator), and on the road to becoming a P.I. herself. Next thing she knows she’s socializing with the Purcells, a rich, eccentric family with a penchant for going crazy and/or dying in spectacularly mysterious ways. From what Jane can tell, the Purcells all want Orchid Purcell’s money. And when Orchid turns up in a pool of blood, the free-for-all has just begun. Then when Jane finds a second body, it seems weird city is about to get even weirder—and a lot more deadly… In her second smash outing, Nancy Bush's wickedly funny heroine, Jane Kelly, proves herself a worthy successor to Stephanie Plum, but with a wit, style, and dog that are definitely all her own. “With her clever ability to handle the zaniest of life’s circumstances, Jane won’t disappoint readers.”—Publishers Weekly “Move over Stephanie Plum, Jane Kelly has arrived!”—Lisa Jackson, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of You Betrayed Me “[A] funny, feisty, immensely likable new heroine.”—Laura Levine, author of Death of a Gigolo
