A murder case that's a tough nut to crack

Shay O'Hanlon's life as co-owner of The Rabbit Hole, a quirky-cool Minneapolis coffee shop, is well caffeinated, but far from dangerous. All that changes when her lifelong friend Coop becomes a suspect in a murder case. The victim? Kinky, the unsavory owner of The Bingo Barge, a sleazy gambling boat on the Mississippi. The murder weapon? Kinky's own bronzed, lucky bingo marker. Digging for clues to get Coop off the hook unearths X-rated videos, a sweet junkyard pooch, and Mafia goons on the hunt for some supremely valuable nuts.

When Shay's sixty-something-year-old friend is kidnapped and held for ransom, it's up to Shay to rescue her without help from the police. But brushing off the beautiful and relentless Detective Bordeaux — with sparks flying between them — isn't so easy.
