After serving two years in prison for breaking the neck of the man who assaulted his sister, Arden is released on bail. He lands a job working at Tuffy''s, a restaurant and bar on the beach strip, alongside his former cellmate, Slip Winegarden. Things seem to be looking good for Arden, until it all starts to unravel...When Slip is caught crossing Viktor Khernov, Tuffy''s owner, Arden witnesses the madman''s revenge from close quarters. Arden''s parole officer tells him to find another job or lose his parole status. Meanwhile, the detective investigating Slip''s murder tightens the vice by ordering Arden to stay on the job and feed him information or face the same penalty. Amid Arden''s ongoing drama, trying to stay cool, is Josie Marshall, widow of a detective found murdered in front of their beach strip home a few years ago - a murder Josie solved on her own (and told in Reynolds'' previous novel Beach Strip). Josie thinks men can be handy sometimes, but she''d prefer they left her alone. Fat chance, especially after her relationship with Slip Winegarden becomes known. Soon she and Arden are trying to fend off Viktor Kernov and his muscled sidekick, as well as the homicide detective determined to solve Slip Winegarden''s murder, all while drawn into a romance that neither of them saw coming but both appear unable to avoid.

Exploring the tension between humor and emotion, this book delves into the idea that laughter, even if considered inappropriate, can be more valuable than refined sorrow. It challenges societal norms about grief and comedy, encouraging readers to embrace the absurdity of life. Through a blend of wit and insight, the narrative invites reflection on personal experiences and the complexities of human emotion, ultimately celebrating the cathartic power of laughter.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of a beach strip, the story follows blues singer Buddy Blaine as he revels in his summer gig at Tuffy's. He enjoys not only the perks of room and board but also the attention of celebrity Josie Marshall and the camaraderie of Abby Bergen, a beautiful volleyball star on the rise to wealth. The narrative explores themes of ambition, friendship, and the allure of fame, all while Buddy navigates the complexities of his relationships and career.
