The murder of a local contractor may be the final nail in the coffin for Tricia Miles in the latest entry to Lorna Barretts New York Times bestselling Booktown series. Its a busy summer in Booktown. Contractor Jim Stark is in great demand: hes overseeing a number of projects including Angelica Miless newly constructed building on Main Street finishing up the new brew pub and gutting a stone mansion off Main Street that Angelica bought to be the world headquarters for Nigela Ricita Asssociates. Itll house office space where her marketing staff and the rest of the NR Associates clerical personnel will work. Tricia Miles and Angelica arrive at the mansion before their workday to see how the construction is going. They find the place unlocked and Starks right-hand man Sanjay Arya dead--bludgeoned to death. The loss of the contractors top man threatens all the projects in the works which would effectively ruin the expensive marketing plan that the Chamber of Commerce has been working. Is Jim a suspect? (Hed be stupid to kill the person he depends on to keep the projects going.) But Stark also thinks his wife who was very chummy with Sanjay might have been cheating on him with the second-in-command making him a likely suspect. Once again Tricia finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation but can she find the killer before he or she has the chance to bring the hammer down?
