Murder in the Dog Days
P. M. Carlson
Series: A Maggie Ryan and Nick O'Connor Mystery
Originally published by Bantam in December 1990, this is a newly reissued title.
On a sweltering summer day, reporter Olivia Kerr and her husband Jerry invite Olivia's colleague Dale Colby and his family to the beach. Accompanying them is a very pregnant Maggie Ryan, Jerry's sister, and her family.
Dale's last-minute decision to remain at home to follow up on an important story results in a tragic discovery when the beach-goers return: Dale's body in a pool of blood inside his locked office. Vietnam veteran turned police officer Holly Schreiner leads the investigation, battling Maggie — and demons of her own.
