Ben Abbott is back in StoneDust, a complex, richly
plotted, and enthralling mystery that tests this witty,
literate realtor and fledgling detective as never
before.
The Fisks’ weekend party, a “sleep-over”
for select couples, remains the talk of the town long
after Reg Hopkins’ body turns up in an isolated covered
bridge. For Reg may have paid the party a fleeting visit—
before dying in a way everyone swears was impossible. Ben,
who used to play backyard baseball with Reg and all the
party guests, must take up the matter with a hometown cast
of friends, foes, and family—including his ninety-year-old
Aunt Connie, the rising politician and his sometime lover
Vicky McLachlan, the comely and ambitious State Police
Detective Marian Boyce, and a pair of deadly
housebreakers. Soon everybody’s getting much more in the
way of kicks than they bargained for.
