Keep me from murdering my wife . . . With these ominous words, Samantha Dick's fledgling investigation business, The Dick Agency, hurtles headlong into its first lucrative assignment. Referred by her dad's old childhood chum, an international entrepreneur with a murky past, Sammy struts naively into the dark heart of Swann Diamonds in the biggest undercover assignment of her young career. Wearing wardrobe choices ranging from short, shorter, to postage stamp, Sammy poses as a "performance consultant" determined to find and stop the profit leak, who just might be her client's chillingly beautiful wife, Mai. Propelled by bravado, intuition and blind luck, Sammy and her genius hacker cousin, Geo, soon find themselves in way over their heads, and they're beginning to suspect that's why they were hired in the first place: to fail! Spurred on to greater efforts, Sammy and Geo navigate through the rarefied lives of the superrich and a parade of seedy characters. Startling links to the Chinese Triad begin to emerge, with repercussions so deep even Sammy's Phoenix Police Force dad and her almost-boyfriend Detective Montaigne, AKA Mountain, may not be able to save them now. The question is . . . will Sammy and Geo live long enough to earn their first big paycheck?
