In the midst of the Christmas rush, Callahan Garrity's long-lost brother Brian appears with his two-year-old daughter Maura, then as abruptly disappears without the child when his ex-wife, from whom he kidnapped Maura, is found murdered. It is up to Callahan and "the outrageous band of 'girls' in her Atlanta cleaning crew" to clear Brian's name.-- From the book jacket.
