by Kris Neri. An Agatha, Anthony and Macavity Award nominated mystery. Meet
Tracy Eaton, the beleaguered daughter of eccentric Hollywood stars. Tracy
is no stranger to wacky people, especially within her family. So when
her sister-in-law's wedding becomes a three-ring-circus, Tracy takes it
in stride, even when the bride is kidnapped.
Her
snooty, bickering in-laws refuse to call the police and insist on paying
the ransom, but Tracy knows that if justice is going to prevail, it will
definitely need her help. Because...the groom takes to ridingaround in
a gangster's bulletproof limo; sweet, loveable Uncle Philly -- a conman
if there ever was one -- has disappeared and there are strange happenings
at the engaged couple's upscale restaurant, The Gypsy Princess. It will
take all of Tracy's innate noisiness and nerve to get to the shocking
truth -- and the Eaton family secret
