Revenge of the Gypsy Queen is so much fun, it ought to be a crime! Featuring Tracy Eaton - mystery writer, detective wannabe and the offspring of wackily eccentric Hollywood stars. Tracy is always out of sync with the *real* world, not to mention with her oh, so conventional husband, Drew.

Trouble always knows how to find her, but Tracy never expects it to pop up during her sister-in-law, Marisa's, wedding - until the bride is kidnapped. When her in-laws would rather meet the terms of the bizarre ransom demand than inform the police, Tracy knows that finding Marisa will be up to her.

But the whole Eaton family begins behaving suspiciously - especially her husband's lovable con-man uncle, who disappears under mysterious circumstances. And the groom, who takes to riding in a gangster's bulletproof limo. Even the family legend of the evil Gypsy queen comes under Tracy's scrutiny - is it the childhood fable Marisa claimed it to be, or is it a dark prophecy of things to come?

Tracy can't imagine the curious path justice will take or that she'll be the keeper of the Eaton family secret.
