After a catfight at a stuffy historical society meeting nearly kills her career, Bubbles is given just one week to prove her worth to her editors at the News-Times and earn a real job there by cracking her biggest story ever: uncovering who really murdered Carol Weaver's steel-executive husband with cyanide-tipped fingernails. More than Carol's own jail sentence for the homicide is riding on Bubbles's investigation. Also at stake is the possibility of corruption in the highest level of Lehigh Steel.

Nothing will deter Bubbles this time! Not trying to drive with a cell phone in one hand and a mascara wand in the other. Not the shenanigans of her mother, Lulu, the pressure of getting her daughter into college (maybe Princeton, maybe Two Guys Community), or the roadblocks posed by Jane's clueless boyfriend, G. Not even hunky gonzo journalist Steve Stiletto, who finally brings Bubbles to steamy satisfaction between the sheets, can seriously distract her from the investigation. Gutsy, intuitive, and delivering her best one liners along with her latest beauty recipes, Bubbles is "behind the wheel and a wild ride awaits." (Publisher's Weekly)

"Strohmeyer's sharp dialogue gives her fourth an edge even Bubbles's clippers can't match."—Kirkus Reviews
