SHE PLAYED ONE ON TV, BUT NOW THAT HER LIFE DEPENDS ON IT, CAN MAIZIE ALBRIGHT ACT LIKE A DETECTIVE FOR REAL?

#WannabeDetective When ex-teen star Maizie Albright returns to her hometown in Black Pine, Georgia, she hoped to rid herself of Hollywood tabloid and reality show hell for a new career as a private investigator. Instead, Hollyweird follows her home. Maizie’s costar crushing, but now for her gumshoe boss. Her stage-monster mother still demands screen time. Her latest rival wants her kicked off their set, preferably back to a California prison. When Maizie entangles herself in a missing person's case, she reprises her most famous role — Julia Pinkerton, Teen Detective. The job will demand the performance of a lifetime. But this time, the stakes are real and may prove deadly.

BODY DOUBLES, DEAD BODIES, AND HOT BODIES ABOUND ... WAIT, WHAT?

#StillAWannabeDetective In continuing her career-makeover quest as a for-real detective, ex-teen and reality star Maizie Albright has a big learning curve to overcome. A sleuthing background starring in a TV show does not cut the real life mustard. It doesn't even buy her lunch, let alone extra condiments. So when a major movie producer needs a babysitter for his hot mess starlet, Maizie eagerly takes the job against her mentor's wishes. But when her starlet appears dead and then not dead, Maizie's got more than an actress to watch and a missing corpse to find. Maizie's on the job, on the skids, and on thin ice, hunting a killer who may be a celebrity stalker. And she just might be the next celebrity who gets snuffed.

THE CASE THAT FEELS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT AND SMELLS LIKE BIGFOOT

#StillDetectiveing As an ex-star of a hit teen detective show, Maizie Albright gets the youth demographic. Or so she thought. Now that she’s adulting, today’s kids make Maizie feel out of date. Particularly the teen YouTube stars of Bigfoot Trackers who want to hire her to look into the disappearance and possible murder of their producer. A murder the police find as likely as Bigfoot. But when conspiracy theories collide with real-life catastrophes, they begin with murder and might end with her life.
