Tom Whatley — a crook? "No way," thinks Merry. The police, however, have a different opinion, and the corpse that turns up in the Whatley's garage doesn't exactly ease their suspicions. As the question of Tom's whereabouts spirals into an increasingly sinister drama, Merry's private life takes its own infuriating turn. The proprietress of a prestigious art gallery shows an interest in Merry's boyfriend, Curt, that extends well beyond his paintings. Journalist and supersleuth Merrileigh Kramer once again finds herself amid circumstances only she could stumble into: murder, spouse abuse, a missing person, romantic intrigue, and her own unruly emotions. Linking it all together are the challenge of trust and the power of choice — things that could mean life or death for more than just Merry and Curt's relationship.
