Peri Minneopa has traded her housecleaning career for a private investigator's license. Her timing seems perfect, especially when she cleans a former client's freezer and finds a severed hand inside, wearing an expensive ring.
Peri
The Cast:
Peri Minneopa likes clean houses and dirty martinis, and hates it when her name is mispronounced. She's a baby boomer who knows herself and what she wants - until she changes her mind.
Benny
A Dean Martin fanatic, obsessive-compulsive, social arthritic, Benny Needles hires Peri to find a lost object. Of course, what he'd really like is for her to clean his house... as if!
Skip
Skip Carlton is a detective in the Placentia Police Department, and he's Peri's boyfriend. He'd like Peri to give up her P.I. business and marry him... not likely.
"The sun already blazed, brightening the Placentia Civic Center courtyard. Earthy bricks decorated the walkways in a complex pattern of rectangles and diamonds, leading up to the large, arched fountain of ocean blue tiles, outlined with smooth stones."
I WILL let you know when it's due to hit the bookstores!
