Synopsis

It's been twenty years, and Judith's life has definitely changed. Now a history professor and a widow, she hasn't seen Nelson Sharpe of the Nassau County Police Department in all that time. But she still can't get her one-time lover out of her head. Her life takes an unexpected turn, however, when former investment banker turned suburban mommy extraordinaire Courtney Logan vanishes from Long Island into thin air. Everyone suspects husband, Greg, the darkly handsome son of flashy Long Island mobster Fancy Phil Lowenstein. Ever the good neighbor, Judith offers her services to Greg, but he shows her the door, thinking she's just a nut. His father, however, isn't so sure -- he just may have other plans for the wily Judith...

From the Back Cover:

Judith Singer's life has changed. Her husband Bob died at age 55 – half a day after triumphantly finishing the New York City Marathon in four hours and twelve minutes. And although twenty years have passed without seeing him, she still can't get her former lover, Nelson Sharpe of the Nassau County Police Department, out of her system.

Judith finds herself surrounded by murder and mayhem when Courtney Logan – wife, mother, collector of vintage needlepoint – vanishes from Long Island into thin air. Naturally, all eyes turn to her husband, Greg, son of notorious Long Island mobster Philip 'Fancy Phil' Lowenstein. But Judith doesn't agree. On launching her own little investigation into the sunny life of Courtney Logan, she turns up some pretty dark secrets – and a dangerous and disdainful killer.
