Everything is not coming up roses when Mex is drafted into a revealing undercover gig ...

Mexicali Rose—Mex to her friends—is back in the Big Apple where an exotic dancer is dead in a dumpster. The NYPD needs someone to go undercover in the exclusive Eastside men's club where she was found, and Mex is their first and only choice.

With the help of her ecdysiastical mentor, Mex shimmies into her undercover assignment as a high-class burlesque dancer. The perspicacious Gypsy Rose Lee inspires Mex to find her own gimmick. And, of course, Mex saves some of the costumes for personal use later.

The shade of her long-absent father appears onstage, and Mex falls hard into her own ancestral healing. Mex discovers just what part of her heart still belongs to Daddy.

Will she strip the case to reveal the bare-naked facts or will her past so swamp her that she cannot find the Truth at all?
