They figure it's an open-and-shut case, although Jaine figures no killer can be that dumb.But when Jaine sets out to find the real culprit, she is distracted by one dating disaster after another with Andrew-and she may not see the dark side of comedy until she faces the business end of a gun and a cold, deadly grin . . .
