How do you write a short description that hooks people in? Some websites only give you so many characters to write your description. Also, how do you write a 'hooky' description without revealing too much?

'Ixora Ishikawa and James Anthony Nicholas Taylor III are detectives in the small, quiet town of Tylerville, Texas. Humdrum country life comes to a screeching halt when a teenager is found stabbed to death with a Scottish Claymore. It is up to Ishikawa and Taylor to find out who is responsible... But what other things will they uncover in the process?'
