As fearless and feisty thirteen-year-old sleuth Sammy Keyes lies comatose, many colorful characters from previous books visit her in the hospital. Sergeant Gil Borsch, whose sense of propriety Sammy has frequently violated, is determined to figure out who pushed her from a third-floor fire escape. The writing remains snappy in this series-ender; longtime fans will love the chance to give Sammy a satisfying sendoff.
