Book Description
Palm Beach private investigator Archy McNally takes on
the murder of a socialite and uncovers a thorny tangle of
blackmail and deceit, south Florida style.
Playboy Geoffrey Williams is dead. But it's not a search
for the killer that brings Archy McNally to the case; the
lovely Melva Williams readily admits to the crime
passionnel. After finding Geoff in a precarious position
with an attractive young lady, she pulled the trigger on
husband number two. It sounds like an open-and-shut case for
McNally & Sons' Department of Discreet Inquiries until
Melva asks Archy to shield her daughter, Veronica, from the
press and paparazzi. Gallant Archy takes the case -- and
escorts grown-up and gorgeous Veronica home to the McNally
manse. Rumors fly, and some of them may be true.
Veronica is no damsel in distress though, and she's
certainly not sorry her stepfather is in the grave. When her
story doesn't match Melva's, which doesn't match Geoff's,
Archy realizes he does indeed have a dilemma on his hands.
Someone's lying, and the one person who knows the truth --
Geoff's perky playmate -- has gotten away.
