Shimmy Shimmy Homicide

Meet Esmeralda Fine---Just call her Esme...

Esme lives and works in Leicester, Connecticut, dubbed

"The City With Village Charm." However, it isn't so charming

the day she makes a grisly discovery that will turn her life

topsy-turvy along with her zany group of belly dancing seniors.

Enter, Lieutenant Ralph Kai, a transplanted Hawaiian Homicide

detective, built like a Sumo Wrestler, and his young sidekick,

Officer James O'Reilly--affectionately known as Junior, who looks

like he's just out of High School.

Add a story of love, lost and found; a murder or two; the legend of

priceless, stolen coins; a feisty little terrier cross named Streak

and you have...

Shimmy Shimmy Homicide
