Margaret Ellen

The body was nude and floating face down, but the long silver hair flowing with the movement of the surf, the slender waist, and the wide, well-rounded hips all spoke to the body being female. The legs were lashed together at the ankles; the wrists were secured in a similar manner behind the back.While beachcombing Hangman's Key-pondering how to end one relationship and mend another-Karen Cobia discovers the body of Eva Marie Park, the Bay Area's most beloved philanthropist. Who killed her? And why? Responding detectives find no clues and dismiss Karen's input as irrelevant. That evening, after Channel Five airs the story on their late news broadcast, Eva's niece calls Karen, asking for help and hinting of other sinister elements.Giving this help, delving into matters best left to the police, spells trouble for Karen, as she unwittingly sets herself up for a deadly encounter with Eva's killer.Burdick, R.
