The fifty-something pharmacy manager at the Food Go in Scottsdale, Arizona, Ruthie Kantor Morris enjoys nothing better than dishing dirt with her waitress friend Denise. But sometimes the gossip turns grim...... Harry Stokes is their latest favourite scandal. The elderly gentleman has been coming to Ruthie for male potency hormones ever since his recent marriage to a woman a fraction of his age. But when the old swinger dies abruptly - a victim of lethally misused medicine - his grumbling grown kids point their accusing fingers at the baby bride. Ruthie, however, has her doubts. And a second murder much too close for comfort convinces the inquisitive pharmacist to look for a fatal family secret hidden somewhere in her prescription records.
