Private investigator Regan Reilly and her husband Jack, head of the NYPD Major Case Squad, hop from one Jersey shore resort town to the next in hopes of solving a tough case, one which is complicated when Regan bumps into an old friend she hardly recognizes.

Returning home from their honeymoon to discover that their neighbor has put his Manhattan apartment up for sale, Regan Reilly and her husband Jack decide to buy it to enlarge their own loft, but the renovation process spawns its own set of problems and an unexpected case.

Private eye Regan Reilly is spending the Christmas holidays with her parents in Aspen, when million-dollar paintings start disappearing, and her friend Eben, an ex-con, becomes a prime suspect.

Receiving a frantic call from a former neighbor from the Los Angeles neighborhood where she once worked as a private investigator, Regan traces the activities of the woman's ex-boyfriend, a con man with suspicious ties on both sides of the law.
