Все в Лонжли говорят о "Голубом доме" - художественном комплексе, который принесет городу театр, галерею и даже ресторан с кофейней. Однако они не особенно восторженны Людвоком Зебом Залинским, самодостаточным миллиардером, который финансирует комплекс. Наступает ночь благотворительного мероприятия, и лучшие представители Вестчестера собираются толпами. Но как только кажется, что все идет по плану, Зеб поднимает электрический чайник, схватывает себя за грудь и падает на пол в соответствующе драматическом стиле. Чайник перегорел, и его кардиостимулятор перестал работать, но полиции не требуется много времени, чтобы решить, что этот кажущийся случайный несчастный случай на самом деле был хладнокровным убийством, снова давая Берни и Либби дело для расследования.

Описание книги от Isis Crawford
Everyone in Longely is talking about Blue House, an art complex that will bring the town a theater, an art gallery, and even a restaurant and coffee bar. But they're less than enthusiastic about Ludvoc Zeb Zalinsky, the self-made billionaire who's funding the complex. The night of the benefit arrives and Westchester's finest show up in droves. But just when it seems the production is going according to plan, Zeb lifts an electric tea kettle, clutches his chest, and falls to the floor in fittingly dramatic fashion. The kettle shorted out and his pacemaker malfunctioned-but it doesn't take long for police to decide that this seemingly random accident was actually cold-blooded murder, making another case for Bernie and Libby.
