Produktbeschreibung

When does loyalty become accessory to murder?

The five Sinclair sisters lead a fairytale existence in the modeling school their mother founded in Cheyenne, Wyoming until her murder in the summer of 1955 prompts them to hire private investigator Heebs Kelly and his little dog Chaucer.

The police have written Eleanor Sinclair's death off as self inflicted based on the quantity of tranquilizers and diet pills she'd swallowed. They bristle at the suggestion anyone else was involved, but Heebs, as long on courage as he is unfazed by authority, soon comes to believe they missed things.

The victim, once a minor league New York model, was an arrogant tyrant with zero interest in being a mother. All her daughters (three singles and identical twins) had reasons to resent her. So did a few others. Then a second murder, more brutal than Eleanor's, sends Heebs in new directions where lies swirl as thickly as grit kicked up by the Wyoming wind.

As he closes in on Eleanor's killer, he must navigate the shifting alliances of the five beautiful Sinclair sisters, some of them hiding secrets and one possibly a murderer who's more than willing to strike again.

Autorenporträt

M. Ruth Myers received a Shamus Award from the Private Eye Writers of America for Don't Dare a Dame, the third book in her Maggie Sullivan mysteries series. The series follows a woman P.I. in Dayton, OH, from the end of the Great Depression through the end of WW2.

Other novels by Myers, in various genres, have been translated, optioned for film and condensed for magazine publication. Some were written under the name Mary Ruth Myers. She has a bachelor of journalism degree from the University of Missouri J-School. Prior to becoming a novelist, she worked on daily papers in Wyoming, Michigan and Ohio. She also spent five years working as a ventriloquist.

The author and her husband live in Ohio. When not writing, she plays Irish traditional tunes on the concertina with more enthusiasm than skill. (Then again, how many people do you know who even play the concertina?)
