Trish Malone is a member of the Malone Sisters' singing trio, which rose to fame in the '60s. She is also the mother of Abby Rollins, a retired dancer and owner of Starduds, a flourishing dance supply business. When Trish's sister Ginny drops out of the Palm Springs Follies because of hip surgery, Trish wants to take her place, but first she must learn some basic dance moves. Abby gives her a few lessons, and her mother is hired. Abby's new beau, private eye Blade Garret, wants to whisk her away for a romantic weekend. What better destination than Palm Springs, where Abby can also visit her aunt Ginny and see her mother perform? Upon their arrival, things get complicated. First an old flame of her mother's keels over dead during a poker game attended by several other men from Trish's past. Then Trish vanishes, leaving an unlocked car and a briefcase full of papers from her real estate business. Dr. Thomas Levine, a plastic surgeon, was poisoned. Did Trish kill him? Is she hiding from the killer? Or is she dead, too-silenced to prevent her from revealing a terrible truth in her memoirs? Abby is determined to find out. Trish Malone spent much of Abby's childhood on the road, leaving many questions unanswered. Now Abby must fill in the blanks in time to save her mother's life without losing her own. Deadly Shuffle is the second book in the Abby Rollins Mystery Series, which began with Timestep to Murder.
