Description:

San Francisco's favorite wisecracking, crime-fighting journalist strikes again Assigned to write a soft piece for Father's Day, intrepid journalist Dixie Flynn investigates a missing father story pulled from her San Francisco weekly's classified pages. The story turns deadly serious when it takes Dixie into the seedy realm of Krasnyi Labed, a dangerous Russian mobster. Fortunately, Dixie's quirky neighbors--not to mention her bookie and her police detective drinking buddy--are willing to lend a hand. Especially helpful is Pinch, the ex-hitman who helps Dixie pull off a dangerous rescue mission, leaving several mobsters dead and a dilapidated apartment building in flames.
