Publisher's Synopsis
Stolen chickens.
A well-endowed bullock.
A farmer pushed to the edge.
And a private investigator in killer heels.
Private Investigator Jade Stone is up to her Versace heels in cow muck. In more ways than one.
In her latest case a farmer's livelihood is at stake. It starts with chickens, a dozen of them taken from their enclosure in the middle of the night. But that's paltry compared to what ganja-loving pensioner Heggarty fears the thieves will be coming for next.
'One-shot Dessie' is a well-endowed bullock renowned locally for impregnating half the county's cow population with strong, prime stock. This makes him something of a stud. And a money-maker. And Farmer Heggarty's prepared to go to any lengths to keep his most prized asset protected until Stone can root out the culprits.
It's not exactly a case for Crockett and Tubbs, but inspired by the Gucci spring collection and a far less inspiring bank balance, Stone takes on the case with her usual grace, flair and good fashion sense. But exchanging heels for wellies, silk blouse for a hoody, and the Z4 for a Vauxhall Astra, she's stopping at nothing this time to see justice served.
Turns out so is Heggarty. Though murder was never part of the plan...
Moonlighting meets Bridget Jones in an English private eye comic-tragedy, the second in the Jade Stone P.I. series
