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.
Following the execution-style killing of a prominent Outer Banks citizen, local crime-writer Harrison Weaver becomes a suspect in the slaying. To clear his name, Weaver launches his own investigation, which he knows is a risky thing to do. But then there is another murder . . . and another. Weaver realizes he is in a deadly cat-and-mouse game with the killer, where he is intended to be the mouse. As the killer continues to stalk him, it becomes chillingly apparent that a showdown is inevitable, a showdown that could leave Weaver as dead as the other victims . . . unless he can beat the killer at his own sadistic game.. . . . . . . . ."Joseph Terrell knows the Outer Banks-its geography, its quirks, its people and their foibles. This series is well conceived and well written. And a smart, savvy combination of who-done-it and police procedural. A welcome new entry to the Southern mystery tradition."--Kathryn R. Wall, author, the Bay Tanner mysteries
