Mercy Allcutt is ecstatic to move to California where she knows she'll learn all about life and-to her Boston blue-blood family's horror--get a JOB; no woman in the Allcutt family has ever actually held a JOB.
Mercy lands employment as secretary to Ernie Templeton, Private Investigator. Mercy's thrilled, and she's sure, with time and help, she'll become an invaluable asset to Ernie's business.
Ernie doesn't yet share Mercy's sunny optimism, but nothing tests the resolve of a new employee quite like murder.
