About the Book
|
In search of
a thesis topic, Flora Dimopoulos, graduate student in Folklore,
takes a job at psychic hotline. Her fellow phone-psychics on the
graveyard shift are a strange crew - could they be on drugs? Indoctrinated
in cultural relativism, Flora doesn't want to be judgemental, but
still ...
Kyra, professional sex-worker and law-student, drowns in her bath.
Her law-office boss, Linda, stumbles upon evidence that Kyra's death
might not be an accident, and turns the problem over to her old
friend, PI Shamus Fitzmorris.
Brenda, Kyra's boss at the call-girl agency, is frantic. She is
sure that a Vice cop has murdered Kyra. Brenda calls the psychic
hotline to learn the truth. Flora takes on the job of finding out
who killed Kyra.
Sparks fly when Flora and Shamus meet and find that they have more
in common than an interest in solving the mystery of Kyra's death.
Along the way, the most glamorous sleuth-couple since Nick and Nora
Charles encounters phony psychics, crystal meth addicts, corrupt
lawyers, and things that go bump in the night.
Comic mysteries are rare - this darkly hilarious caper will have
you laughing out loud as you follow the clues to try to figure out
who killed Kyra.
