This is a fast paced, witty, sophisticated mystery.  I was very pleased by this second Alton Rhode novel.  Plot twists, interesting characters, humor, suspense, this novel has them in Spades.  Alton is hired to clear the name of a young beauty caught with the proverbial "smoking gun", literally.  When the suspect's suicide appears to close the case, Alton refuses to let it go.  As the plot unfolds, the dark past of a loving wife threatens to destroy her husband's career.  From the outset, Alton is uncovering clues and preserving against hopeless odds.  I highly recommend this book along with all of Lawrence De Maria's earlier novels.  You will not be disappointed.
