Description
Kate Mulvaney: eccentric, miserly and stinking rich.
Although she is disliked by all her famous Hollywood relatives, it is her money that bankrolls them.
So why was she murdered by one while travelling through France?
Dade Cooley, Kate’s 60-year-old San Francisco lawyer, arrives on the scene to put his amateur detective skills to use.
With the help of his astute wife Ellen, he discovers the motive is linked to a ruby worth a cool ten million dollars.
Seven suspects for the murder emerge, from Kate’s sister Maggie, a movie star desperate for a role, to her husband George, the sole heir to her wealth.
As Dade gets closer to the truth two more brutal deaths occur within the family.
He must act quickly before there is more bloodshed!
“The writing is better than Christie’s.” The New York Times Book Review
"Dade Cooley and his wife Ellen … are an engaging investigative couple; he is a literate philosophical 60-year-old San Francisco attorney, she is witty, independent and never lets him get too taken with himself … charming.” HOUSTON CHRONICLE
"No one has proved better at … the traditional whodunit with its intricate puzzle and its often eccentric sleuth … than Gene Thompson.” SAN DIEGO UNION
