When not wining, dining, or driving his fire-engine red Miata around Palm Beach, Archy keeps discreet tabs on the wealthy clients of his father's law firm. Then one day, Edythe Westmore, a well-to-do widow, considers buying a Faberg ̌Imperial Egg and all hell breaks loose.

But this time, he's Palm Beach's #1 suspect.

Secrets, surprises, and at least one dead body come out of the closet in the Palm Beach P.I.'s most twisted case yet.

"When the Palm Beach Community Theater needs a director for its production of Arsenic and Old Lace, Archy tosses his megaphone into the ring. ... And when an actor sips some prop wine and drops dead, the Palm Beach police suddenly develop a special interest in the local theater scene."--Jacket.
