Girl Detectives: Amateurs In Hate
Join Edgar Rodger, a fledgling private eye and former murder-desk rewrite man for a Chicago daily, as he descends into the bizarre world of the city's favorite artsy-cultural alternative weekly paper. Inspired equally by Wodehouse and Chandler, Girl Detectives lightens the murder-mystery brew with social satire and sick slapstick as it conjures up a fun-house milieu where nobody can seem to be themselves- not even a corpse. Kimmie Wrigley, a functional illiterate whose family fortune helped her skate into a job as a Chiculture staff writer, was driving her editor to drink when she disappeared. She was also busy stealing a man from Maurinette Meede, the imperious, blue-blooded food critic . But the paper's proofreaders -- all slightly unhinged by their 'intellectual' dead-end jobs - also hated the dopey heiress on principle. With so many potential killers, there's only one thing for Rodger to do: blackmail them till they sign on as deputy detectives and rat each other out.
