      Samuel Hoenig je mladý muž, který má vlastní podnik, žije s matkou a miluje baseball. Řekli byste – nic výjimečného. Jenomže Samuel je velice výjimečný. Trpí Aspergerovým syndromem (i když on sám je přesvědčený, že je to spíš výhoda než utrpení), což mu sice trochu komplikuje komunikaci s ostatními lidmi, ale co se týče přesných analýz, mohl by soupeřit s tím nejlepším počítačem. Na živobytí si vydělává tak, že lidem odpovídá na otázky. Jakékoli otázky. Jak dlouho žije anakonda? Z čeho je baseballový míček? Jaké bude zítra počasí? Když dostane otázku: „Kam zmizela hlava Miriam Masters-Powellové?“, nabere jeho dosud poklidný výzkum v pohodlí vlastní kanceláře docela jiný směr. Spolu s „asistentkou pro mezilidské vztahy“ Janet Washburnovou zahájí pátrání, při kterém půjde o hlavu i jim.

      Pro Samuela Hoeniga není Aspergerův syndrom porucha, ale soubor povahových rysů. A coby majitel a jediný zaměstnanec firmy Otázky a odpovědi jich náležitě využívá. Na co se ho zeptáte, na to najde odpověď: „Kde je moje kobra?“, „Padne na novém stadionu New York Yankees homerun?“… zkrátka na cokoli. Ovšem když se ho nejnovější klientka zeptá na pravou identitu svého takzvaného manžela, musí se Samuel obrátit na svou bývalou společnici, paní Washburnovou, protože v záležitostech citů, vztahů a manželství se cítí více než nejistý. A zprvu se zdá, že se jim týmová práce daří… dokud se v Samuelově kanceláři neobjeví mrtvola.

      Nineteen-year-old trans woman Eliza is missing . . . and her worried father sets private investigators Fran and Ken Stein on her trail in this second instalment of the light-hearted and fun cozy mystery series with a paranormal twist. Taking a break from their usual business of helping adoptees find their birth parents, New York private investigators - and super-sized, ever-so-slightly-paranormal siblings - Fran and Ken Stein accept a job to find a missing young woman. Nineteen-year-old college student Eliza Hennessey is trans - and she has a rocky relationship with her father, their new client. Brian's convinced his daughter's vanished, rather than run away, but Fran and Ken aren't so sure she wants to be found. The PI duo investigate, and soon Fran is butting heads with her irritating sort-of-ex-boyfriend Mank at the NYPD, who has what seems to be a similar case on his desk. But not even Fran could guess how tangled their investigations are going to get, and how deep they'll need to dive into murder and mayhem to solve the case! The new instalment of the Fran and Ken Stein mystery series, following Ukulele of Death, has it all: unique characters, witty humour and a twisty mystery plot to die for!
