begins a wild search for her client’s 12-year-old friend. Her quest
plunges her deep into Spindle City’s thriving underworld of drugs
and prostitution. From there, the investigation takes her to the

hunky next door neighbor, Vinnie, and Bunny, her childhood friend and
local realtor, who gets her access to the exclusive Aquinesset Club.
Running buddy, Phil Rubin, a physician, gets medical attention for
her young client, and golfer, Mark Fallon, the north end’s hottest
woodworker, pokes around where Ricky cannot go. Even her on again,
off again, lover, Jay Harp lends a hand, introducing her to Wilda, a
six foot four, martial arts trained, security specialist, who
provides critical muscle for the fifty-something P.I.

beatings, and near misses plague the intrepid sleuth as she closes in
on a killer. Join Ricky for this rollicking ride filled danger,
romance and surprise.
