  There's more to Bubbles Yablonsky than blonde curls and bright outfits. She's becoming as skilled at writing the news as perming hair, but she still needs to add new highlights to her image as a hot reporter. Right now, though, she's planning a romantic break with gorgeous photojournalist Steve Stiletto. But he's already hours late when she's summoned to cover a press conference at an old coal mine. Bubbles arrives to find it strangely deserted, except for an injured Stiletto, dumped in a coal car - and the body of a man shot once in the head. It's Bud Price, a businessman whose plan to build a casino in small-town Pennsylvania has divided the old-fashioned community. And instead of relaxing at the Passion Peak Hotel, Bubbles is suddenly dodging explosions and investigating a murder. With her loony mother and precocious teenage daughter throwing themselves into the fray, Bubbles is in a race against time to beat Stiletto to the scoop, discover who wanted Price dead - and keep her own pretty little head out of the line of fire...

  Bubbles' romantic holiday with Stiletto is cut short at a critical moment when she receives a phone call from her cousin's husband. It's a matter of life and death, apparently, that she meet him at midnight at the old mine. They arrive to find the mine deserted -- except for the body of a man shot once in the head. When someone sets off an explosion at the entrance to the mine, Bubbles and Stiletto only just make it out alive. So Bubbles finds herself investigating the murder of Bud Farkas, a hot-shot business man who wanted to build a casino entertainment centre over the old coal mines in small-town Pennsylvania. Bubbles and Stiletto are in a race against time to discover who wanted him dead -- and to beat each other to the story.
