An all-expenses paid weekend at an upstate hotel
with her oldest friend seems like a good idea to Paula Holliday. After all,
gardening season doesn’t really kick in for another few weeks and she and
Lucy Cavanaugh haven’t had a chance to catch up since they worked together

Add some Ukrainian mobsters, a pair of
ladykilling brothers, a bankrupt businessmen and a group of college kids who
know how to party, and Paula has her hands full trying to find her friend and
figure out what it is that everyone seems to think she knows . . .
