An unlikely wealthy couple in the midst of constant emotional chaos
finds themselves investigating the world of embryo and organ theft,
a mystery that takes them to unexpected locales with the most
unusual set of characters. With a nod to the The Thin Man, Bradley
Lewis takes us out of Manhattan and into the rich, dysfunctional,
world of Beverly Hills. With Sheila Benniger's pet schnoodle killed
by a Sub-Zero refrigerator accident in a prequel, she is left with
only her husband Dr. Brantley Benninger, the local root canal
specialist, to schlep around to help investigate her amateur
sleuthing hunches. Like Nick and Nora Charles, the Benningers enjoy
all the perks of wealth, such as country clubs and eating in the
finest Hollywood and Beverly Hills chichi locations, but
unfortunately too often with Sheila's Borgia-like parents, the
Stirlings. With the help of Irv-The-Shrink, the Bennigers manage to
keep their marriage alive - and want to - especially since Sheila
is pregnant. The perfect-imperfect couple, Sheila and Brantley are
still in love, and their elegant condo provides refuge from the
strange world that the Stirlings constantly try to invade. They
enter the realm of international crime, macabre murders, and police
cover-ups. With lively dialogue and uniquely authentic settings,
the author, a Beverly Hills resident for twenty-six years,
demonstrates that he knows his subject from every angle, and
exposes the extraordinary perverse insider details of wealthy
families. The Benningers rub elbows with the rich and famous, while
trying to solve what proves to be an off-beat, often funny, tale of
mystery and socially-impaired Beverly Hills life.
