The last thing Jazz Kenneally ever expected was to inherit the fortune of her mother's half-sister, Lysandra Somersby. However, there was no one else for Lysandra to leave it to because she'd alienated just about everyone she ever met. The largesse she leaves to Jazz includes a cute puppy and an elegant New York City apartment building with a prosperous bar on the ground floor. Never mind that Jazz is a teetotaler and has rarely set foot in a bar in her life. She now owns one, and that's only one of the problems that comes with the bounty she receives from her late relative, who was murdered on a dark city street not long after a tenant in her building lost his business to arson. The murder of another resident of the apartment building soon follows, and what is the apparent connection between all three crimes? The teetotaler's bar!
