Private Investigator Cat DeLuca and her Pants on Fire Detective Agency have a reputation for catching cheaters. Itrs"s a skill Cat mastered when married to her run-around ex, Johnnie Ricco. Armed with a camera, Cat scales balconies, dangles from hotel windows, and splashes the bare facts on 8X10 glossies. They tend to sweeten her clientsrs" divorce settlements. Life takes a strange turn when a reporter for the Chicago Tribune (Rita Polansky) masquerades as a client with a liar-liar husband. Rita retains Cat to follow Chance Savino, a steamy guy with a pocketful of smuggled diamonds. The detective is hot on his heels when an exploding building hurls her out of her sling-backs and into the hospital. The FBI claims Savino was killed in the fireworks but Cat isnrs"t buying it. She escapes the hospital determined to find out. When her client fails to show for a scheduled meeting, Cat finds her at home with a knife in her chest. She learns the reporter was researching a ball-buster story involving a gangster, gun smuggling, and a pocketful of diamonds. Cat discovers two clues in Ritars"s apartment; Starburst candy wrappers and Chance Savino rummaging through her drawers. Meanwhile, no one believes Chance is alive, everyone thinks Catrs"s crazy, and Cat makes a murdererrs"s "must kill" list. A botched attempt puts ex husband, Johnnie Ricco on the short list of suspects. Can Cat solve this case before it is too late?
