"Phil Landsdale has problems. He's out of a job, his son's a pyromaniac, and his wife is running out of excuses as to why she comes home six hours late from work every night." "In his new role as house husband, Phil learns that when you have a lot of time on your hands, you begin to notice your neighbors, the intricate nuances of their comings and goings, and the discord created by someone who doesn't follow the normal routine - like Cassandra Payne, the tall and sexy neighbor across the street." "Phil and his newfound friend, Bryan, an ex-detective who lives next door, have been keeping tabs on Cassandra. But when Cassandra's husband is gunned down on his way from the airport, Phil and Bryan realize that the beautiful Cassandra might be hiding more beneath that eensy-weensy miniskirt than meets the eye; and Phil finds himself drawn into the dark and mysterious world of Cassandra Payne." --Book Jacket.
