"Time to dance, sugarplum."
A painter at the Meyer's Toys factory, Clarice Stahl, knows something is
strange about the way so many men come and go through Mr. Meyer's
office, especially one in particular.
Then murder strikes a little too close to home and uncorks a barrel of
secrets.
When mob king, Mario Topo's, enforcer goes missing the race is on to
prove he's behind the murder. Police and mobsters alike are after Milo
Natale, and he who finds Milo first might determine the enforcer's fate.
A race through the city, a new friend... or more... a new life in the
offing. Milo and Clarice must find who killed Topo's man and why before
the police arrest him for murder or Topo's men bump him and Clarice off,
too.
This next book in the Ever After Mysteries combines "The Nutcracker
Suite" with a murder mystery set in the heart of 1920s Rockland.
