Mystery Woman Sleuth
Newly widowed
Pauline Cook was once the toast of the Windy City elite—but
now she's
practically broke. At least she's in better shape than her dear
departed friend Ethan Campbell, whose corpse Pauline has had the
misfortune to discover. A writer who chronicled the lives,
loves, and
ensembles of the Gold Coast's most elegant ladies, Ethan
apparently
took his own life—while inelegantly clad in old boxers, no
less. And
since no relatives are coming forward to claim Ethan's
remains, it
falls to Pauline to settle his final affairs . . . with her own
dwindling funds. However, there are things about
Ethan's
suicide that don't seem to add up: the ratty undergarments
he "chose"
to die in, for example . . . and the multiple birth
certificates the
police turn up in his apartment. Before she can truly lay
her friend to
rest, plucky Pauline's determined to get to the bottom of his
increasingly suspicious death.
