SOME GUESTS DON'T KNOW WHEN TO LEAVE... The party at the Manor had been a smash, and rock star Ken Cryer was feeling, well pleased... until he found golden Alix Hamilton in his bed. Despite her seductive pose, Alix didn't fancy Ken, or anyone else. She was dead—shot twice, with two different guns, in a room Cryer had specifically locked against intruders. For Superintendent Robert Bone, these were only the first complications in a case that would include champagne corks that masked the sound of gunfire, a missing, suspect, a stolen religious artifact, an orphaned cat, and the unexpected assistance of one very pretty biology teacher. But it would take a second body to lead Bone, at last, to the unrepentant murderer...
