Past Perfect

In the evening of the same day, Wooten finds her friend dead. Her subsequent activities seem peculiar, add to that, the total disarray of the house, and Sylvia's sudden death becomes a police matter. The aura of suspicion becomes a dark cloud with the discovery of the new will that Sam, pledged to secrecy, drew up for Sylvia. Wooten is suspected of murder. Sam is her "shoulder", legal advisor, and loving support. Brian Flarhety is on backup and standby. They present a solid front; a triumvirate to be reckoned with. Deputy Bowman flees to Mexico. His abrupt departure from there is worth the price of the ticket. The supporting characters, Marva, Tony, Kim Kim, Dr. Carpenter, fill the pages with character, humor, and insight.
