Rhiannon and Sylvie, the unlikely detective duo introduced in Onions & Garlic, are back for another round of enigmas... The things they start with are small. Things that no one should actually notice- but perhaps Rhiannon, who's a good observer, and who views the world descriptively, will notice. Perhaps Sylvie, with her eidetic memory, will use logic to connect seemingly unimportant little events into a bigger one. It starts with the "that's odd". And perhaps, in so doing, they find a case... Rhiannon Valdez, a medical student at University of Washington, and Sylvie Stein, an intern reporter for the Skybrook Gazette, may be an unlikely duo. But Rhiannon and Sylvie both have a habit of poking in where they're not wanted- a habit that seems rather nasty, until it saves a life.
