Jump the Gun: An Annabelle Starkey Mystery: 1 (Annabelle Starkey Mysteries) - Softcover

An hilarious romp through "Sin City" and San Francisco by a shiny bright new pair of Sleuths, Annabelle and Mickey. Movies, old and new, crooked cops, cats, and suspicious deaths combine to drive this first in what one can only hope will be a very long series.--Frederick Ramsay, author of the Ike Schwartz Mysteries

Praise for Jump the Gun... "An appealingly offbeat set of characters." -Kirkus Reviews Annabelle Starkey is shrewd, sweet, and sexy. She's a one-man kind of girl who loves hats and shoes. Annabelle also loves movies. But her life doesn't match her favorite silver-screen scenarios. That is until she meets charming, mysterious, magnetic Mickey Paxton and decides to live one of those Cary Grant films. They fly to Las Vegas for a holiday and a test flight for romance.           They arrive in Sin City, and suddenly Annabelle and Mickey are on the run, but from what? And why? In two frenetic days of fast driving, fast talking, and fast thinking, Annabelle learns to trust her instincts. No matter what the danger, Annabelle's fresh and funny voice is her best weapon. Zoe Burke is the author of two children's books, but Jump the Gun is her first mystery novel. She lives in Oregon with her husband. www.zoeburke.com
