Sally is alarmed when her boss, Lyla Lawal, the owner of the local diner, doesn't show up one day. In her memory, the Nigerian woman has never missed a day's work. She calls her husband, who is as concerned as she is. When Miles first arrived in this small upstate town, Lyla's sandwiches were one of the chief attractions, well, that and the waitress Sally's short skirts. The police aren't interested, so he starts his own investigation. A call to Lyla's brother in Nigeria sends him to New York City to talk to his mob boss buddy. The trail leads to the Russian mob in Brighton Beach and back upstate to the Adirondack State Park. Meanwhile, the resourceful Lyla is proving well capable of looking after herself.
Though this story brings in characters from the previous two Miles O'Malley books, it can be read as a stand-alone. Involving kidnapping, poisoning and an (almost) classic shoot-out, you won't want to miss this final episode in the series.
