Famous in Cedarville

From one of the most original writers in crime fiction comes a diabolical mystery wrapped in Hollywood tinsel. When reclusive, retired silver screen actress Barbara Lace dies in her bed, only the young widower of Cedarville suspects a crime. But Samson Delaware has always been something of an outsider, and his wifes death hasnt exactly improved his reputation. In fact, the local gossipmongers think he might be losing his mind. Their bless-your-heart manners cant disguise their distrust, which makes his amateur attempts at an investigation even more difficult. When Laces assistant is found decidedly murdered, the town starts to change its tune, though, and soon Samson finds himself in the thick of an improbable chase. Hollywood hotshots and small-town law enforcement make strange bedfellowsespecially when secrets are getting women killed.
