Created by Ruthe Furie
(1930-)
B.T. JEFFERSON has a little bit of an identity problem.
As B.T., she’s a licenced private investigator in Bull Neck, Long Island.
But as Belinda Thomas, she’s a caterer, working out of the same office. The intercom chimes for the caterer, and buzzes for the P.I.
She’s a caterer. And a P.I.?
Uh-huh.
