Opportunity knocks when Bubbles incriminates a wealthy socialite in a brutal murder and then uncovers a murky past, where corpses are littered around the accused's steel-magnate husband. Bubbles is hell-bent on getting even with the overlords, especially her former husband, a heel who has gone over to the other side. Battle lines are sharply drawn between the haves and have-nots. Like the mills that gird the book's seen-better-days steel town of Lehigh, Pa., the city is itself a seething cauldron.

Meet Bubbles Yablonsky, beautician-reporter-sleuth and blazing star of Strohmeyer's entertaining, establishment-bashing debut as a mystery writer.
