Josh riffs on the classic Thin Man films (and Shakespeare) with This Rough Magic, the first book in the new, lightly comic A Shot in the Dark mystery series set in 1930s San Francisco.Wealthy playboy Brett Sheridan thinks he knows the score when he hires tough guy private eye Neil Patrick Rafferty to find a priceless stolen folio of Shakespeare's The Tempest.Brett's convinced his partner-in-crime sister is behind the theft -- a theft that's liable to bring more scandal to their eccentric family, and cost Brett his marriage to society heiress Juliet Lennox. What Brett doesn't count on is the instant and powerful attraction that flares between him and Rafferty.Once before, Brett took a chance on loving a man, only to find himself betrayed and broken. This time around there's too much at risk.But as the Bard would say, "Journeys end in lovers meeting."
