Rona Shively is a private detective. She’s smart, she’s sassy, she’s seriously confused. She’s also got to pay the rent, so she takes on yet another crazy case. Her new client, Ted McCafferty has asked for her assistance in finding out what happened to his sister. All reports say that she was killed in a boating accident, but McCafferty thinks that her husband may be hiding something. At first blush, her new client has a boyish charm and she feels very comfortable around him. But things are never as they seem.
Before it’s over, Rona’s trapped in a basement with a dead body and an ex-boyfriend and things get ugly. All of this plus an impromptu visit from her sister, an argument with her current boyfriend, Norm, and being questioned in connection with a local murder adds up to one stressed-out private detective who’s ready to crack. Come along for the ride, Rona’s driving.

I'm giving away one free copy of Under Lock and Key, the second book in the Rona Shively series. Here's the catch, to enter, readers need to be able to answer the following four questions about the first book in the series, In the Wash:
1. What kind of car does Rona drive?
2. What does Rona's friend, Norm do for a living?
3. What is the name of the Mexican restaurant where Rona and Norm have dinner?
4. What are the names of Rona's two pet fish?
You've probably figured this out already, but you'll have to read In the Wash to find the answers. Send your answers to me at lonestoryteller@yahoo.com and I'll draw the winning entry on Father's Day, Sunday June 15th! Good luck to you!
