Angeles Investigations is nearly ready for its opening day on Tuesday, August 1. Rob Jones, Kevin Brodie, and Jamilah Daly have worked for weeks to make their vision come to life. Jamie Brodie is on board to resume his career as a professional researcher. All they need to do now is hire an administrative assistant. How hard could that be?
Meanwhile, Jon Eckhoff and Susan Portman are tracking a serial killer preying on real estate agents in the Valley. When interior decorator Paul Thayer is found stabbed to death in an empty house in the Palisades, the powers that be decide to assign that one to Jon and Susan, too.
Fortunately, Paul's murder should be easy to solve. They have two excellent suspects - Paul's ex-business partner, Adrienne Pennell, and his ex-husband, Aaron Quinn. They both have financial motives, and neither of them has an alibi. All Jon and Susan have to do is prove that one of them killed Paul. How hard could that be?
Adrienne Pennell has other ideas. She hires Angeles Investigations to solve Paul's murder and thereby exonerate her and Aaron. The race is on between former partners Kevin and Jon to find Paul's killer. And, to Jamie's dismay, he gets dragged into the field with Rob to do some playacting.
Paul's life was complicated, and there are plenty of questions to answer. Why didn't he ever change his will? Who's the silent partner in his business? Whose DNA is in the condom in his bathroom? What will the beneficiary of his will do with all that penile art? And who the hell is Davis Scherer, and why is he lying?
The answers are out there, and Angeles is determined to find them before the police do.
How hard could that be?
