In a Lot of Trouble: a Baltimore Mystery is a wickedly clever, funny, and rollicking mystery taking place in Baltimore, featuring an unforgettable cast of characters.
A professional grad student, an engineering consultant, and a former Major League pitcher enter the wine cellar of a trendy bistro on New Year's Eve, but this is no joke: One leaves on a stretcher, one is carried out in a body bag, and one speeds off in a stolen car. The book introduces an odd pair of amateur sleuths, Cressida Fortune and Don Mandarino, who are often mistaken for a couple, but, as Cress likes to explain, One of us is a lesbian.
