Whodunnit — the gallery owner who stands to make seven figures from the sale of Jim's work, the art dealer who's not content with a few pieces of Jim's work?

Publisher: Leslie Leigh
Price: 99¢ (as of 02/26/2015 at 4:00 PM ET).
One obvious murderer, at least three victims, too many suspects, and one falsely accused. It all adds up to a sum that's greater than its parts …
An old high-school chum of Melissa's hires Brian as she suspects foul play in her father's death. But because he was a hospice patient, things are handled routinely, and the body is embalmed before Brian and Melissa can get all the info they need.
Then other possible victims in neighboring counties start popping up. Then when Brian receives communication from other western states on deaths with similar profiles, he and Melissa begin sleuthing to find connections, hard evidence, and most of all, the perpetrator before there is another victim. Can they find all the evidence they need before other agencies move in and their investigation is compromised?
Meanwhile, Jim James' brother comes to town to meet and charm the young widow. Brian has some surprising news, and his affection for Melissa becomes more obvious. Is Melissa ready for the next step in their relationship?
In the end, everything gets turned on its head and Brian and Melissa are blindsided by news that comes in the middle of the night — evidence is missing, and Melissa and Brian's hands are tied — maybe literally!
