Most people get a cake for their birthday. Clarity Bloom got a dead body.
In fairness, the cake came first — right before her mother ambushed her with a surprise paintball match against a clan of aggressively competitive strangers. Then one of those strangers hit the ground mid-game with a real bullet in his chest. Clarity's birthday turned into a homicide investigation, with her own mother as suspect number one.
Wanda Bloom is horrified to be accused of murder. She is also, conveniently, delighted to help solve one. Goat farmer by day, aspiring secret agent always, she's been waiting her whole life for a case this good — she just didn't expect to be the prime suspect.
So now the private investigator has two cases and zero free time. She has to clear her mother's name, find a missing woman before her parents lose hope, and keep Wanda from wearing too many disguises.
The suspects play dirty. The detectives play meaner. The revenge shots are flying as far as the dog park. And whoever fired that killer shot isn't finished. They're just reloading.
Clarity's handling it. Probably.
Genre: Horror
