The so-called Ankh Killer is terrorizing New York. But Anna has other things on her mind-keeping her team working efficiently and harmoniously; providing room and board for her annoying sister, whos just separated from her husband; and fending off her parents constant attempts to get her to choose a more acceptable career. But these problems pale when one of Annas employees, Shari Baird, is found dead, and another is accused of her murder. Anna is convinced the cops have arrested the wrong person and decides to investigate. Looking into Sharis past for clues, Anna discovers that her colleagues past was checkered with blackmail, prostitution, and possibly murder. But exactly who killed Shari and why? And is her death connected to the Ankh Killer? A savvy heroine, an inventive plot, plenty of action, and a surprise ending make this a good pick for medium-sized and large collections. --Emily MeltonAbout the AuthorMarshall is president of the Evan Marshall Agency, a leading literary agency that specalizes in representing fiction writers.
