A bicycle race is not Charming Books owner Violet's idea of a pleasant pastime. But police chief David Rainwater wheelie wants them to enter as a couple, so she reluctantly consents. And as if the bike race weren't tiring enough, pesky P.I. Joel Redding is snooping around Charming Books, trying to uncover the shop's magical essence - which communicates with Violet through books. When Redding perishes in an accident during the race, David discovers that the brake line of the private eye's bike was cut. Worse, Violet tops his list of suspects. Now she will have to get in gear to clear her name.
