2006 Macavity Award for Best First Novel (nominee)
New attorney, Toby Dillon, takes little in life seriously, except his tennis game. He's a graduate of U.C.L.A. The only problem is his U.C.L.A stands for Uncle Charlie's Law Academy. Maybe that explains why Toby's office is the former storage room of a country club's Pro Shop, which Toby barters for being the Assistant Tennis Pro.
His idyllic life changes when his two best childhood friends, Brogan and Rita, now filmdom's newest glamour couple, turn to Toby for help to adopt a baby. Although initially the adoption is a media feel-good story, things change quickly when the baby is kidnapped.
When the expected ransom demand never arrives and the police turn up nothing, Toby, Brogan and Rita are left to find answers on their own, and their suspects start turning up dead. They learn there is more at stake than a kidnapping, and the answers may trace back to the childhood they shared, putting friendships - and lives - at risk.
Genre: Mystery
