Though unfamiliar with the protocol for dealing with a murder in one's new workplace, her nose for crime pulls Sheila--and her eccentric Aunt Mary--into the investigation.Another murder follows and Melanie's ex-boyfriend is charged with both crimes. But Sheila thinks the police might have nabbed the wrong man. She's convinced of it when the killer comes after her.

Sheila Travis ruefully agrees when dispatched by her colorful Aunt Mary to Charleston to investigate several mysterious accidents at the historic home of Mary's childhood friends. However, Sheila can't help remembering what her dad always said about his sister: "Trouble follows that woman like fleas follow a dog."Sheila's hostesses are such gracious purveyors of Southern hospitality that Sheila has to keep reminding herself this is not a social visit. Even if she is initially inclined to write the accidents off as coincidence, the first murder changes her mind. The second begins to unearth dark secrets amidst the roses and honeysuckle. Wills and family history come under close scrutiny as Sheila closes in on a killer . . . unwittingly putting herself in deadly danger.

Prominent television personality Dean Anderson was as popular as he was respected, but he had incurred a good deal of animosity among family, friends and co-workers. Though the police are willing to rule his shooting death a suicide, his old friend Sheila Travis is not. As usual, it's irrepressible Aunt Mary, a perpetual busybody, who manages to get Sheila involved in finding Dean's killer. The list of suspects is long as it is remarkable: a resentful ex-wife, an enraged daughter, a jealous, vindictive co-worker, a mobster with a grudge. The truth goes deeper than either Aunt Mary or Sheila suspects. And it may prove equally fatal.

After her most recent foray into detection, Sheila Travis is more than happy to concentrate on her job as Director of International Relations for Hosokawa International. Unfortunately, her relative peace and quiet is short-lived. Coming home from an exhausting business trip, all Sheila wants to do is go to sleep. Instead, she is dragooned by her young neighbor. Sara Sims Tait into a Sims family dinner out in Gwinnett County. Each day, the greater metropolitan area of Atlanta moves a little further into Gwinnett County, and Sara Sims's contentious family--part upwardly mobile, part solid dirt farmers--sees big dollar signs when major developers express interest in Grandma Sims's farmland. Too bad she won't sell. Greed and anger are powerful influences, but when the murderer strikes, Grandma Sims is not the victim, and it is up to Sheila and her irrepressible, aristocratic Aunt Mary to untangle the complicated web of motives, opportunities, and relationships that connect the Sims family to murder.

Guinevere is widely acknowledged as the most extraordinary woman in legend. From golden child to Queen of Camelot to passionate adulterer, her life is a vivid and fascinating saga. In this spellbinding climax to the tale of Guinevere--which began with Guinevere and continued in The Chessboard Queen--Sharan Newman, author of the highly acclaimed Catherine LeVendeur medieval mystery series, blends magic and history to create and unforgettable tale of passion and tragedy. Here we see the discovery of Guinevere's affair with Lancelot and her subsequent fall from grace; the near-futile quest for the Holy Gail; and the triumph of Galahad in a final battle with the villainous Mordred. Guinevere Evermore is a heartrending portrayal of a failed romance, a fallen woman, and the end of an era. Sharan Newman's reinterpretation of the Arthurian saga is as ambitious and persuasive as The Mists of Avalon and The Hollow Hills--and just as memorable. This edition also includes Newman's short story: The Palace by Moonlight.
