| Mah-Jongg?
Yep. In hip Hollywood, that kitsch old game is fast becoming the next “new” obsession—and that calls for a party!

Mah-Jongg?
Yep. In hip Hollywood, that kitsch old game is fast becoming the next “new” obsession—and that calls for a party! Madeline Bean and her charming partner Wesley Westcott are determined to throw a gonzo Chinese New Year banquet. But among the hot mah-jongg tiles, the steamy dim sum, and the frosty Singapore slings, no one expects to find one of the players ice-cold dead!
Meanwhile, in one of the historic celebrity mansions that Wesley is restoring as a sideline, a well-aimed crowbar uncovers a stash of precious objects—including an antique mah-jongg set. As Madeline pieces together how these two events are connected, she must separate the yin from the yang to uncover a killer. It doesn’t take a fortune cookie to spell it out. There is always a price to pay…whether gambling at mah-jongg—or murder.
