In Vegas, the only thing more dangerous than losing your shirt is losing your monkey.
Barnaby Crisp-consulting detective, tweed enthusiast, and connoisseur of chaos-has arrived in Las Vegas, convinced it's the perfect oasis for his singular deductive genius. His methods are unconventional, his theories veer into the bizarre, and his vintage dictaphone hasn't worked since the Clinton administration, but he always gets his man... eventually.
Enter Maya Sharma: over-educated, under-employed, and desperately needing a gig that doesn't involve explaining adult diapers or photographing celebrity dogs. When she answers Barnaby's eccentric ad for an associate (marsupial knowledge essential ), she expects lunacy. She gets it, but she also gets plunged into a high-stakes casino heist.
The Caffeinated Capuchin-a priceless, jewel-encrusted monkey statue and lucky charm-has vanished from The Mermaid's Purse casino just days before its crucial 15th-anniversary gala. With a frantic casino owner breathing down their necks, a skeptical police detective watching their every move, and a ticking clock, Barnaby and Maya must navigate a labyrinth of false leads, corporate espionage, rival casino tycoons, and Barnaby's own spectacular talent for accidental mayhem.
Can this unlikely duo sift through the absurdity to find the truth before time runs out? Or will Barnaby's methods prove too wild even for Vegas?
