As Christmas 1946 draws near, thirty-something marine
officer-turned-homicide detective Lane Walker has his
hands full. Three men with seemingly no relationship to
each other have been murdered, including the powerful
District Attorney. The only connection between the
crimes? The weapons: twenty-year-old unopened fruitcake
tins manufactured by a company that is no longer in
business. While some foods may be to die for, fruitcake
isn't one of them! This heaping helping of murder will
be no easy task for Walker, and he certainly doesn't
need the determined and feisty Betsy Clayton, the
political reporter for The Chicago Herald, getting in the
way. Employing witty dialogue and historical accuracy,
The Fruitcake Murders offers equal parts murder, mystery,
and mayhem in a perplexing whodunit set in the days just
after World War II.
