Publisher Description

The Reillys return home from a summer weekend looking forward to a quiet supper on their newly acquired rooftop terrace. But it’s not meant to be. While Jack goes to pick up Chinese food, Regan enters their apartment, unaware that a nervous thief is hiding in the front closet. A thief who knows about a hidden safe that Regan and Jack have yet to discover. Minutes later, a blackout strikes.

 

Meanwhile, Lorraine Lily, an almost famous actress, returns to New York City the night of the blackout, after spending three months in England doing a play, and is informed by her estranged husband, Conrad Spreckles, that he’d sold his loft to their next-door neighbors, the Reillys. Lorraine had never told him about the hidden safe she’d had installed in the closet. If she doesn’t get back what’s in there, she’s sure her budding career will be ruined.

 

In Zapped, Clark takes listeners on a tour of the city they won’t forget and introduces them to a wonderful cast of colorful, eccentric characters whose stories intersect in precarious and often humorous ways during one very dark and hot summer night.

"What a terrific team Jack and Regan make both as a couple and as Cop/Investigator. This book had me right from page one to the very end. It had everything from crime solving to humour to suspense. I really enjoyed it!"

— Carol (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Clark is among the few authors as talented at performing their books as they are at writing them. Humor is her specialty, whether understated or slapstick. With equal ease she captures eccentric gallery owners, bumbling housebreakers, wannabe comics, wacko jilted lovers, pathetic exes, and conniving teens.”
