Detective Kate Delafield and her partner, Joe Cameron, head for the exclusive, wealthy neighborhood of Hancock Park to investigate the execution-style murder of Victoria Talbot, the cultured, refined mother of three, a crime in which the victim's ex-husband becomes an all-too-convenient suspect. By the Lambda Award-winning author of Curious Wine.
When Detective Kate Delafield and her partner, Detective Joe Cameron, get the call to investigate a homicide in the secluded, old-money neighborhood of Hancock Park, Kate has the feeling it's not going to be murder as usual. Her hunch is correct. A cultured, refined mother of three, Victoria Talbot is the last person you would guess to die by gunshot, execution-style. At first the finger of guilt seems to point squarely at the victim's ex-husband Douglas, and everyone involved - from the authorities to his own children - are more than willing to believe in his guilt. But for Kate, the easy way has rarely been proven the right way, and there are too many unanswered questions that suggest not all is as it seems with this dysfunctional family. Now, Douglas Talbot is on trial for his life, Kate's lover Aimee has disappeared to God-knows-where, and Kate must piece together a deadly puzzle of secrets and lies before she can uncover the startling truth.
It wasn't a typical call for detectives Kate Delafield and Joe Cameron. For one thing, the upscale neighborhood of Hancock Park was more likely to be a stop on a "bus tour of the stars" than a homicide scene. For another, everyone seemed too willing to point the detectives in the direction of Victoria Talbot's ex-husband. Now, while the ex is on trial for his life, Kate must piece together a puzzle of secrets and lies before she can uncover the startling truth...
