Book Synopsis
Flo, Maude and the Old Dames Protection Agency are called into action once more over the holiday season. This time it’s the fiancé of Maude’s granddaughter who seems to be in trouble. Someone is sabotaging Andrew’s career as a pianist and may be intent on ending it once and for all. When Andrew nearly gets his fingers smashed in a so-called accident, the gang takes off for Berkeley, California and the glorious Berkeley City Club Hotel.

No one minds the warm weather or the magnificent architecture of Julia Morgan, who designed the building as a club for women in 1930. What they do mind is the story that doesn’t quite add up. Why is Andrew so reluctant to have them there or tell them what is really going on?
