Nick Fashon is having a bad day. He's just found out his estranged
grandfather has died mysteriously in the Arizona desert. Then he
meets his potential father-in-law, who turns out to be an ex-cop
with a screw loose and a penchant for bean dip. To top it off, he
returns home to find his successful clothing shop has just burned
to the ground and taken his upstairs apartment with it.
Love & Fashion was Nick Fashon and Vince Love's thriving
clothing store until it went up in flames -- the work of an
arsonist, police say. Suddenly Nick is homeless and disillusioned,
and both the insurance investigators and the police want a word
with him. Where can he turn for help? He's wearing out his welcome
with his archaeologist girlfriend, Gretchen, who's developing her
own suspicions about him. His business partner and best friend,
Vince, isn't much help either, as Nick discovers more and more
disturbing clues that point to Vince as the one who set the
blaze.
Things begin to look up when Nick finds out his eccentric late
grandfather has left him an unusual inheritance: a thriving
pet-coffin business and a barn full of peculiar inventions,
including one particularly interesting doohickey called the
HandyMate. The HandyMate is the ultimate kitchen gadget -- a simple
tool that can cut, core, chop, slice, and potentially transform the
domestic world. Full of entrepreneurial zeal, Nick is determined to
see one in every kitchen drawer in America.
But Nick isn't the only one planning to strike it rich with the
HandyMate. Yola Fuentes, Nick's grandfather's irresistibly sexy
business partner, is so determined to get the HandyMate that she
makes Nick an offer he can't refuse. And Robo Fuentes, her jealous
ex-husband, has a bullet with Nick's name on it if he takes her up
on that offer. Nick quickly finds himself caught in a situation
where a twisted thing of plastic might end up costing him his
girlfriend, his self-respect -- and his life.
With the help of a cast of colorful characters, master
storyteller Pete Hautman delivers a stylish and funny mystery with
more twists and turns than the HandyMate itself.
