Zachariah Justis is a private investigator who has been asked by the owner of StarrTech, Inc. to look into some missing shipments. Needing an spy in StarrTech, Zac approaches Guinevere Jones and blackmails her into helping him. Gwen, who runs her own temp agency, had worked as a temp at StarrTech six months earlier, and helped herself to $2,000 in benefits before leaving. Zac uses this information to assure she will be his "inside man".

This was an interesting beginning to Castle's Guinevere Jones series. The story was written in 1986, so the mystery seems dated. Zac and Gwen play a video game called "Elf Hunt" to find clues to the missing shipments, and the missing creator of the video game. (When they are playing the game, I can just picture the first Super Mario Brothers game.)

I really liked the characters in this book. Zac is not your usual alpha jerk that is in so many of the 1980's romances. Gwen holds her own as an independent woman. The romance in this book is light, but I'm hoping it will heat up in the next book in the series. My rating: 4 Stars.
