journalist with no end of enemies - personal and
professional - who would delight in his death.Again in the
midst of a murder investigation, Daisy's search for the
killer takes her to all levels of society, and even a mad
dash across the country itself, as she attempts to solve a
puzzle that would baffle even Philo Vance
himself.AUTHORBIO: Carola Dunn is the author of ten books
