Family dynamics have a far reaching affect. Wealth such as that of Randolph Ord III and poverty like that of his wife, Danielle’s family show no favorites when a unit ceases to function. Danielle Ord watched her parents play out their roles in an abusive marriage; she exists in a relationship fueled by alcohol and drug abuse which began as rebellion. The abused wife is ready to resort to an elaborate scheme and at the same time Ruth Ord, the sister, has her own designs. When the two women’s paths cross, their plans are altered. But Randolph Ord III still turns up dead.
It is now up to detective Sandy March to find the real killer. Is his judgment being compromised by the growing attraction he feels toward the newly widowed Danielle Ord? Both women have motive and opportunity; but a third figure emerges with ties to organized crime.
