Tucker Sinclair doesn’t have a bad life, really. Sure,
she’s recently divorced, and her flamboyant mother and her dog, Muldoon, have moved
themselves into Tucker’s oceanfront cottage. But she’s at the top of her career as a
consultant at Aames & Associates. She’s been made a senior manager, and she’s one step
away from partnership.
But that’s when things start to fall apart. One
of Tucker’s clients, Dr. Milton Polk, a neurologist with the dream of creating a
high-tech clinic, cheats investors out of millions of dollars, and the investors are
blaming it on Tucker. To make matters worse, Tucker’s files on the project have
mysteriously disappeared—as has Dr. Polk. Suddenly, not only have Tucker’s dreams of
partnership vanished, but she’s also jobless—and the only way to salvage her job is to do
a little sleuthing to find the missing files that will clear her
name.
Fans of other chick-mysteries—like Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum
series—will love Tucker Sinclair. She’s a character that anyone can relate to—she’s
sometimes tough and independent, yet she’s sometimes a little too impulsive for her own
good, and she sometimes even gets lonely. Surrounding her is an only-in-LA cast of
characters — including her spiritually-charged actress mother, her boozy neighbor, and
her neurotic assistant who took up knitting on the advice of his therapist. Tucker’s
adventures in seedy Hollywood diners and rich men’s closets will have you hooked and
looking for more — and the few ends left untied at the end of the story suggest that this
isn’t the last you’ll hear from Tucker Sinclair.
Kristin Dreyer Kramer has been writing in some form or another (usually when she was supposed to be doing something else) since the ripe old age of ten—when she, her cousin, and their two Cabbage Patch Dolls formed the Poo Authors’ Club. After a short career in advertising, Kristin got sick of always saying nice things about stuff that didn’t deserve it—so now she spends her days criticizing things, and she’s much happier for it.
Since creating NightsAndWeekends.com in February of 2002, Kristin has spent her life surrounded by piles and piles of books and movies—so many that her office has become a kind of entertainment obstacle course.
As if her writing and editing responsibilities for N&W.com weren’t enough to keep her out of trouble, Kristin also hosts a number of weekly radio shows: Reel Discovery, Shelf Discovery, and On the Marquee. She’s also a proud member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (CriticsChoice.com), the Central Ohio Film Critics Association (COFCA.org), the Online Film Critics Society (OFCS.org), and the Women Film Critics Circle (WFCC.Wordpress.com).
Kristin lives in Columbus, Ohio, with her husband, Paul, and their daughter, Anna. She welcomes questions, comments, and fan mail at kdk@nightsandweekends.com.
