Sasha Garodnowicz, not that she'd ever tell you) struggles to get by on odd jobs for neighborhood insurance brokers. The ink's barely dry on her temporary P.I. license when Sharon lands her first real paying client, a missing person case that promptly leads her to a crew of out-of-work "fashion models" running a small time con. Till they tried to take down the wrong person, that is, and now the grifters are getting killed, the missing person doesn't want to be found, and Sharon's suddenly trapped between the cops, the mob and a dangerous old nemesis who'd love to see her dead. Sharon's never asked for much, just a comfy perch atop a cocktail lounge barstool, a tall cool highball and a twirl or two on a dance floor (or something, if the mood's right) with a real looker. After all, some people are just lovers. But some are killers. And Sharon's about to discover if maybe, she's a little of both.
