In Document #4 of the Edgar-nominated series detailing an
outrageously funny family of detectives, former wild child and private
investigator Izzy Spellman finally agrees to take over the family
business. But the transition won't be a smooth one...
First among her priorities as head of Spellman Investigations is to dig
up some dirt on the competition, slippery ex-cop Rick Harkey--a task she
may enjoy a little too much. Next, faced with a baffling missing-persons
case at the home of an aging millionaire, Izzy hires an actor friend,
Len, to infiltrate the mansion as an undercover butler--a role he may
enjoy a little much.
Meanwhile, Izzy is being blackmailed by her mother (photographic
evidence of Prom Night 1994) to commit to regular blind dates with
promising professionals--an arrangement that doesn't thrill Connor, an
Irish bartender on the brink of becoming Ex-boyfriend #12.
At Spellman headquarters, it's business as unusual. Doorknobs and light
fixtures are disappearing every day, Mom's been spotted crying in the
pantry, and a series of increasingly demanding Spellman Rules (Rule
#27: No Speaking Today) can't quite hold the family together. Izzy also
has to decipher weekly "phone calls from the edge" from her octogenarian
lawyer, Morty, as well as Detective Henry Stone's mysterious interest in
rekindling their relationsh . . . well, whatever it was.
Just when it looks like things can't go more haywire, little sister
Rae's internship researching pro bono legal cases leads the youngest
Spellman to launch a grassroots campaign that could spring an innocent
man from jail--or land Rae in it.
The Spellmans Strike Again is hands down the most hilarious,
thrilling, and moving book in this bestselling, award-nominated series.
And it proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Isabel Spellman, no matter
how much she matures, will never be able to follow Rule #1: Act Normal.
