Mind her own business? Leave it to the experts? Not a chance.

?especially when asked to spy on her friend's strangely behaving husband, Eugene, at one of San Francisco's hottest nightclubs. When Sophie shows up in a short red cocktail dress and the potentially two-timing hubby shows up dead, the would-be sleuth launches a full investigation.

She uncovers some pretty dirty secrets, including a certain conservative congressional hopeful's involvement in the "Furry" community-a group with a fetish for mascot-sized animal costumes.
