On the day she died, Constance Young was the undisputed
star of morning television. But her plans to move herself
and her loyal audience to another network were cancelled
when she ended up at the bottom of her swimming pool. And
the fabled unicorn amulet that Constance had been wearing
during her final hours—a gift from King Arthur to his
beloved Guinevere and the centerpiece of the upcoming
Camelot exhibit at New York's Cloisters museum—is missing.
A morning show veteran and now anchor of the KEY
Evening Headlines, Eliza Blake is shocked by the death
of her former colleague, and is determined to discover who
wanted Constance out of the way . . . and why. To do so, she
enlists the aid of three KEY News coworkers:
"Jane-of-all-trades" Annabelle Murphy, who can switch from
producing to sleuthing at a moment's notice; charming and
fearless cameraman extraordinaire B.J. D'Elia to add brains,
brawn, and a much-needed male perspective to the team; and
Dr. Margo Gonzalez, on-air psychiatrist, who understands the
complex puzzles of the human mind. Calling themselves "The
Sunrise Suspense Society," they set out to get to the bottom
of the heinous murder, in a case that will test their
ingenuity and their courage to the very limits.
The
deeper they dig, the more twisted the trail to Constance's
killer becomes—as the list of suspects grows longer by the
minute. Was it her spurned and enraged medievalist lover, or
a muckraking author who blamed her for ruining her life?
Perhaps money was the motive, and Constance's sister,
jealous of her wealth and fame, was responsible. Or possibly
someone at Key News was angry enough—or frightened enough—to
commit cold-blooded murder. The one sure thing is that
Constance Young made a lot of enemies—and now one of them is
Eliza's enemy as well. And the closer she and the Society
get to unmasking the murderer, the closer they each get to
dying, suddenly . . . and brutally.
