Title: Working Stiff
Description: Sofie Metropolis's PI business is so successful at finding missing spouses and lost pets and at proving insurance fraud that she's hired new staff, including her (formerly) layabout cousin.

There are two men in Sofie's life: sexy Greek baker Dino, who found a place in her heart--and bed--in Foul Play, and man-of-mystery Jake Porter, whose Australian accent is guaranteed to turn Sofie's knees to water.

The week before Halloween, a body disappears from Sofie's Aunt's funeral home. It might be a holiday prank, but Sofie's barely begun to investigate when she's handed a truly hot case: prove the innocence of someone already on trial for murder.
