Former air force investigator turned Colorado P.I. Charlotte "Charlie" Swift works alone and likes it that way. But when her wealthy, silent partner's clueless, socialite wife, Gigi, shows up and announces she's on the payroll, Charlie finds herself in potted-plant, potpourri-scented purgatory. Luckily Charlie's got a case of an abandoned baby to focus on, and she dispatches Gigi undercover at a burger joint to find out who's skimming the cash register. Nobody is more surprised than Charlie when Gigi nails the culprit -- setting the place on fire in the process.
Apparently guileless, inept Gigi has people skills -- which is good, because the baby case is quickly becoming twisted and deadly. With the infant's teenage mother murdered and a convoluted trail of suspects, Charlie's going to need some help -- even if it wears coordinated butter-yellow separates and can't be trusted with a loaded gun.
