Summary:
Jane da Silva knows a Cole Porter tune and a silky voice will only
carry you so far through the urbane cabarets of Europe. So when the
young widow's "eccentric" Uncle Harold dies, she jets back to the
States to claim the fortune she dearly needs to ransom her Visa card.
Unfortunately, Jane finds her inheritance conditional and her
situation critical. It seems Uncle Harold and his old-codger cronies
are part of a secret society dedicated to aiding and abetting offbeat
lost causes, and Jane must carry on her uncle's "work" if she expects
to see anything resembling a windfall. But just how far will the chic
expatriate go when her "hopeless case" forces her to mingle with a
sleaze-ball lawyer, a scheming psychiatrist, a sinister New Age cult,
a stone-cold corpse--and a ruthless murderer?
