Mind her own business? Leave it to the experts? Not a chance.
especially when asked to spy on her friend's strangely behaving husband, Eugene, at one of San Francisco's hottest nightclubs. When Sophie shows up in a short red cocktail dress and the potentially two–timing hubby shows up dead, the would–be sleuth launches a full investigation.
Without warning, Sophie plunges into a world of political mudslinging and campaign cover–ups. She uncovers some pretty dirty secrets, including a certain conservative congressional hopeful's involvement in the "Furry" community a group with a fetish for mascot–sized animal costumes. Sex and politics, wouldn't you know?
Sophie knows she needs help, and turns to P.I.(and ex–boyfriend) Anatoly Darinsky. Together they set out to discover who killed Eugene and why. Their professional relationship may be repaired, but what will this very unusual case do for their personal one?

Sophie Katz has just offered a man $12,000 for his services Is she desperate or just meshugeneh?
Considering the kind of disasters that usually befall the half–black, half–Jewish mystery writer, probably both. Because the 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 to protect her from her own foolishness. What are the chances he'd agree to take incriminating pictures of her sister's philandering husband? Or that he'd let her tag along you know for research?
But when her brother–in–law turns up dead and her sister becomes the prime suspect, Sophie's priority is finding the real killer. With or without Anatoly's help. Her brother–in–law's secret life yields plenty of suspects, but the San Francisco police aren't taking any of 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 protect her this time?
