A professional grad student, an engineering consultant, and a former Major League pitcher enter the wine cellar of a trendy bistro on New Year's Eve, but this is no joke: One leaves on a stretcher, one is carried out in a body bag, and one speeds off in a stolen car.
In a Lot of Trouble introduces an odd pair of amateur sleuths, Cressida Fortune (All-But-Dissertation) and Dino Mandarino (2.4 Earned-Run-Average), who are often mistaken for a couple, but, as Cress likes to explain, "one of us is a lesbian." The duo's attempts to solve the murder lead them through the cultural stew that is Baltimore during the last month of President Obama's first term in office.
Elgin Crofft brings a fiendishly witty new voice to the genre of detective fiction.
