Dev Haskell was still asleep when his cellphone went off in
the front pocket of his jeans where he had left them on the floor. He had much
rather be back asleep in the bed next to Heidi, but the woman on the cell phone
just keeps talking. She gradually makes inroads into his sleep fogged brain and
he slowly realizes a girl he knew from high school long ago could be in real
trouble.
Zoe Lawlor, who he knew as “Twink,” was his date for the
Prom. A date that, all things considered, went surprisingly well and ended in
an unexpected way. 48 hours later she was gone and he has not heard of or seen
her since. He soon learns that she is wanted by the cops for another matter
which means the police can’t be involved according to her friend. Among other things, Twink was doing some
modeling work for a guy who, though he paid well, was apparently into some
shady stuff of his own. Collette is sure something is very wrong and Dev
Haskell agrees to work the case. A case that will get more and more complicated
as he moves around the St. Paul area.
This is a very good short story clearly written to interest
the reader in the several Dev Haskell novels. It works for that as well as well
as on its own as a solidly good read tale. Twinkle Toes: Dev Haskell Short Mystery
features an occasionally slightly sarcastic private investigator, a damsel in
distress, and plenty of suspects in a fun read.
