CAU is to meet, to pass on a new contract, but the executive director, Roger Urban, is missing.  He is found dead in the bathtub in an unoccupied house.  He is clad only in a red garter belt and bra.  Even though she is surrounded by her current boy friend, Henrik Hudson, a top flight defense lawyer, and her  ex-boyfriend, Joe Camanetti, a homicide detective, and her father, Ulysses Grant, UG, whose recent science experiments jeopardize the retirement home where he resides, Maggie resumes her investigative role.   Despite threatening notes and a couple of attacks and warnings from Joe and Henrik, she continues to probe the backgrounds of the many possible suspects.

Hollywood is portrayed as shallow and neurotic.  There are lots of stereotypes but the most colorful is Maggie's gay roommate, Lionel, who is a font of Hollywood gossip. Maggie is beautiful, stubborn, and independent, not one to be trifled with.  As a diabetic, Maggie introduces the reader to the regimen of diabetics.

This is an entertaining, quick read with a glimpse of life in the fast lane of Hollywood.
