"Great followup to LITTLE SISTER'S LAST DOSE."

After two women are robbed of their jewels and murdered in an elevator at a posh Manhattan hotel, their husbands hire private investigator Franklin Novak to find out who killed them. Even though the hotel owners, Stuart and Simon Apple, are being cooperative, something doesn't seem right. So Franklin enlists the aid of his son, Felix, and Felix's good friend, Soraya, who check into the hotel as wealthy, young lovebirds.

These wannabe-PIs are good at undercover work, and they find their personal relationship heating up, as well. When more murders occur, Felix and Soraya race to solve the case before the killer hits again.

This follow-up to LITTLE SISTER'S LAST DOSE sees the return of two very likable characters and should interest readers of the newly popular Chick-lit genre. It's a really good mystery.

Summary

A murderer is loose in Manhattan and he's making hotel guests his victims...

When the wives of two billionaire Texans are brutally murdered in New York's swanky Sutherland Hotel, Franklin and Felix Novak and Soraya Navarro need to move fast before the killer strikes again. Hoping to find a suspect, Felix and Soraya check in to the Sutherland, posing as wealthy lovebirds on vacation. Meanwhile Franklin looks into the shady dealings of the hotel's infamous owners, the Apples.

Is somebody trying to get vengeance on the Apples? Or are the Apple cousins, deranged Morris and slick Simon, fighting for power and using guests as ammunition? As Felix and Soraya close in on the killer, their relationship catches fire, while a corpse with a bullet in the belly throws suspicion on the least likely suspect.
