Take one high-flying, forties-loving heiress looking for her missing sister, add one hardboiled private detective who has his feet planted firmly in this century, add a priceless stolen sculpture, blackmail, disorganized crime, organized gangsters, and a very rich father, and you have the makings of a very bad day for two people who have nothing in common.
Sally MacArthur is desperate to find her kidnapped sister, so desperate that she hires James Diamond, even though heās all business and thinks sheās seen too many Humphrey Bogart movies.
James knows he should turn down the jobāSally has trouble written all over herābut thereās something about the case thatās making it impossible for him to say no. And thereās something about Sally, too, although he never gets involved with a client. That kind of stuff is for the movies, not real life.
A chase through Northern California wasnāt what he had in mind, particularly since he canāt keep that mind off his troublesome employer. But a manās gotta do what a manās gotta do. And Sally MacArthur is just too tempting.
Asking for Trouble... Sometimes trouble is just what you need.
