Simon Hill was a slick entrepreneur and a sleazy ladies` man. Until someone killed him. Fearing her cousin will be arrested for the murder, an island restaurant owner hires the Thrift Store Fashion Queen, artist and part-time P.I. Jessie Murphy and her red Stetson wearing friend, Zen, to catch the true killer. A pathway eerily bubbling with deception and lies takes these two zany sleuths from the balmy mangrove islands of Matlacha, Fl to the snowy sidewalks of Boston, MA, and back again. This page-turning mystery written with a wink to Agatha Christie ends with a chilling twist-that even with her trademark deductive reasoning skills-Jessie never suspects.
