Book:
The greatest challenge for Grace Cummings will be to solve her own murder.
On a crisp autumn morning in 1959 Grace watched in horrified silence as her husband’s experimental jet exploded in a blinding flash. She frantically scanned the horizon for the white bloom of his parachute. It never appeared. Reggie had perished before her eyes.
Two years later she’d uncovered enough evidence to prove the crash was no accident; the jet engine had been rigged to fail. Her investigations, however, had not gone unnoticed.
A shadowy figure emerged from the darkness and attacked, leaving Grace for dead, her head coming to rest on the bumper of her beloved 1957 Thunderbird. She would remain here until life slipped silently away.
