Produktbeschreibung

In the late 1990s, Atlanta, Georgia booms with development and an influx of population. Ann Audrey Pickering has withdrawn from her law practice, hiding from the media glare caused when she helped the FBI prosecute her (now) ex-husband. Ann Audrey is pulled from her secluded life when her best friend, sexy Theo Humphries, becomes the prime suspect in the murder of Theo's lover, a wealthy real estate developer married to an Atlanta socialite. To save Theo, Ann Audrey travels from tony neighborhoods in Atlanta to the coast of Georgia, investigating golf courses and luxury homes to unravel a secret the dead man's buddies have hidden since they served with him in Vietnam. Distrustful of police and emotionally closed off after her disastrous marriage, Ann Audrey is reluctantly attracted to arrogant and handsome police lieutenant Mike Bristol. Her investigation leads to a dangerous confrontation with the killer and a decision that challenges Ann Audrey's principles.

Autorenporträt

Following her mother's lead, Mississippi native Winnie Simpson was an avid murder mystery reader beginning in the third grade, starting with Nancy Drew and moving through the classics of British, American, and international crime. Winnie studied music at Duke University, later receiving an MFA in music at SUNY Buffalo, where she worked as an arts administrator before throwing it all over in order to make a decent living. After finishing law school at Emory University, she became a partner in a large firm in Atlanta, where her practice focused mainly on securities litigation. Retiring early, Winnie relocated to Northern Michigan, where she lives in a renovated nineteenth-century building that served as a former Michigan State Asylum, an address considered appropriate by her friends. For more than a decade, she has taken writing classes and participated in writing groups. She is fond of opera, hiking, cycling, and Duke basketball, most seasons. Winnie is currently working on the second book in the Ann Audrey series, Death with Sweet Tea. Follow her at winniesimpson.com.
